Troops Deployed in European Cities as Antisemitic Attacks Rise
25th March 2026
A wave of suspected antisemitic attacks across Europe has prompted fresh security measures, with Belgium deploying armed soldiers after a synagogue explosion in Liège.
Belgian authorities said troops would be stationed at Jewish sites in major cities following the March 9th explosion, which MP Sam van Rooy described as “the predictable outcome of importing antisemitism from the Islamic world.”
Interior Minister Bernard Quintin on Tuesday said it was better to assume further attacks are coming than to wait for them to happen.
