(Jerusalem Post) Antwerp police arrested five people as part of proactive operations against a suspected “Jew hunt” following calls to action on social media, according to De Morgen.
A police spokesperson told De Morgen that five people had been put under administrative arrest on Sunday, a special form of arrest used in Belgium as a preventative measure rather than as part of a criminal investigation, which can last up to 12 hours.
All five were released from administrative arrest that night in accordance with Belgian law.
Belgium was not immune from the global rise in antisemitism stemming from Hamas’s October 7 attacks.
