After going missing, Rabbi was feared to have been kidnapped and killed by terrorists, prompting an investigation.

An investigation by the Mossad is underway after an Orthodox Jewish rabbi's recent disappearance was linked to "terrorist involvement."

A Chabad emissary, Rabbi Zvi Kogan, was a resident of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates when he went missing on Thursday. He is a citizen of both Moldova and Israel.

Kogan is a recruiter who is passionate about volunteering and serving his community, as stated on his LinkedIn profile.

On Saturday, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office declared an investigation into the mysterious disappearance. The statement stated that the disappearance seems to be linked to a "terrorist incident," but no further details were provided.

Given the information suggesting a terrorist incident, an active investigation has been ongoing in the country since Kogan's disappearance. Israeli security and intelligence agencies have been working diligently to ensure Kogan's safety and wellbeing.

"The NSC has recommended a level 3 – moderate travel warning for the UAE, advising against non-essential travel and urging extra precautions for those already there."

The Ministry of Human Rights in the UAE is closely monitoring the case of the missing Moldovan citizen, Zvi Kogan, and is in close contact with his family to provide them with all means of necessary support.

"The press release stated that His Excellency emphasized that the Ministry of Interior (MoI) is actively working to find the missing person, with the relevant authorities in the UAE beginning search operations and investigations immediately after receiving the report."

The Chabad movement requested its social media followers to pray for the missing rabbi on Saturday.

On X, Chabad.org reported that Rabbi Zvi Kogan, the Chabad-Lubavitch emissary to Abu Dhabi, UAE, has been missing since Thursday.
