A man was robbed and beaten with hammers at a Brussels train station, sustaining life-threatening injuries, according to a report. Suspects were arrested, but police have not disclosed their identities or background. The source also warns against visiting Belgium, citing antisemitic motives.
The incident occurred in Brussels, where a man was reportedly set upon by assailants wielding hammers during a robbery at a train station. The victim was beaten severely, including about the face and eyes, and is in life-threatening condition. Suspects were apprehended, but authorities have not released their names or the motive, according to the source. The report claims the attackers were Muslim and frames the attack as part of a broader pattern of anti-Jewish hostility in Belgium, citing a 2020 protest in Brussels that included calls to slaughter Jews. The Zioneer has previously covered antisemitic incidents in Europe, including a July 19 incident in Antwerp where a man with a hammer threatened Haredi Jews, and a July 6 incident in Barcelona where Jewish visitors were chased through the streets.
