Gert Vercauteren, the director of Belgium's Coordination Unit for Threat Analysis, has issued a warning regarding the potential for terrorist attacks by pro-Iranian cells in Belgium.
These groups are reportedly seeking to demonstrate their operational capabilities by targeting Jewish sites, raising concerns about security infrastructure and response mechanisms.
This assessment comes as Belgium marks ten years since the 2016 Brussels attacks, prompting a reevaluation of threat levels and preventive measures in place.
