        The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has apprehended three suspects in connection with the murder of Zvi Kogan, an Israeli-Moldovan citizen who resided in the UAE, the Ministry of Interior announced on Sunday.
        Following the filing of a missing person report by Kogan's family, a specialized search and investigation team was quickly assembled, which led to the discovery of the victim's body and the arrest of the suspects, according to the ministry.
        The ministry highlighted the UAE's unwavering commitment to maintaining the safety and security of the society, noting that all legal measures would be utilized to address stability threats.
        "Full details of the incident will be disclosed upon the conclusion of the investigations," the ministry added while emphasizing that legal procedures against the suspects are already underway.
        Israel's Prime Minister's Office announced earlier in the day that the body of Kogan, a 28-year-old rabbi, was killed in a "heinous antisemitic terror incident."
        "The State of Israel will act by all means to bring the criminals responsible for his death to justice," the office said.
