Following the fatal shooting attack on Shabbos which left four people dead, security is being increased for all Jewish institutions throughout Brussels. Three people were killed and one critically wounded by terrorist gunfire. Two of the fatalities are reportedly a Tel Aviv couple in their 50s that was visiting Brussels. The foreign Ministry is working to fly the bodies’ home for kvura.

State officials in Brussels denounced the attack amid growing concerns as Monday, 26 Iyar, elections are scheduled to be held and this too has led to the decision to beef up security for Jewish institutions.
