Rabbi Gavriel and Rivkah Holtzberg (Chabad)
A rabbi from Abu Dhabi’s Chabad chapter who is missing and reportedly feared kidnapped or murdered is the nephew of Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, who was murdered along with his wife in a terror attack at the Nariman Chabad House in Mumbai in 2008, Channel 12 news reports.
Rabbi Zvi Kogan has been missing since Thursday, with Israeli authorities treating the incident as a suspected act of terrorism.
The Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement earlier this evening that the Mossad intelligence agency has launched an “extensive” investigation into the incident alongside Emirati authorities.
Kogan is a dual Israeli-Moldovan citizen and has been part of the Abu Dhabi Chabad chapter since Israel normalized ties with the UAE in late 2020.
