罗马 — 在罗马历史悠久的犹太区狭窄街道上，大犹太会堂外，意大利士兵身着自动武器巡逻。这是欧洲各地反犹事件浪潮后，安全措施明显加强的一部分。
一名士兵告诉CBS新闻，安全级别提升是在近期犹太场所遇袭之后，包括上周比利时列日市一座犹太会堂发生爆炸。爆炸造成损坏但无人受伤，不过这足以促使比利时政府宣布将部署军队，协助保护全国的犹太机构。
罗马的士兵表示，由于担心重演列日及欧洲其他地区发生的反犹暴力事件，最近前往犹太社区的人变少了。
伊朗战争爆发以来，欧洲各地的反犹事件有所增加，包括荷兰阿姆斯特丹和鹿特丹的犹太社区遭到袭击和威胁。
法国官员称，他们挫败了一起针对犹太目标的疑似恐怖阴谋。
自2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击以色列以来，全球反犹主义呈上升趋势，以色列对加沙发动的战争以及以色列和美国再次袭击伊朗的决定似乎重新点燃了全球反犹仇恨。
随着以色列直接卷入扩大的冲突，欧洲的犹太领袖和国家安全官员警告称，报复性或模仿性袭击的风险可能再次增加。
比利时部署士兵的决定标志着至少有一个欧洲政府的应对措施升级。
在列日袭击事件发生后，比利时内政部长伯纳德·坎廷称此举“必要且紧迫”。
“在反犹主义抬头的背景下，列日犹太会堂发生的袭击事件鲜明地提醒我们，比利时犹太社区面临的威胁非常真实，”他说，“无论其他政治考虑如何，保障同胞安全是国家的责任。向犹太场所增派军事人员以加强安全，将为警方提供直接支持。”
比利时官员表示，士兵将协助执法部门守卫犹太会堂、学校和社区中心，特别是在布鲁塞尔和安特卫普等犹太人口众多的城市，提供威慑和快速响应能力。
“意大利反犹袭击增加400%”
罗马犹太区的鹅卵石路上嵌着小型黄铜牌匾，称为“绊脚石”（Stolpersteine），德语意为“绊脚石”。每一块都标记着大屠杀期间被驱逐并杀害的犹太居民的最后已知住所。
如今，这些小型纪念碑承载着新的分量。
意大利犹太社区联盟（UCEI）主席利维亚·奥托伦吉告诉CBS新闻，2025年发生的反犹袭击事件增加了400%。“两周前，两名犹太青年（在米兰）遭到人身袭击，不得不前往急诊室。”
奥托伦吉表示，意大利目前可见的许多安全措施——武装守卫、路障、犹太会堂和学校的受控入口——并非新举措。
欧洲各地的犹太社区几十年来一直采取此类措施。
但她说，现在情况感觉不同了。
“就我个人而言，我人生中第一次在某些情况下会考虑是否佩戴大卫之星，”她说。
列日袭击事件引发了美国的强烈反应，特朗普政府已将打击反犹主义列为优先事项。
爆炸发生后数小时，美国驻比利时大使比尔·怀特前往列日爆炸现场，会见了当地官员和犹太社区成员，并公开谴责此次袭击。
“我以最强烈的措辞谴责这起针对比利时犹太社区的反犹袭击，”他在社交媒体帖子中说。
“唐纳德·J·特朗普总统、国务卿马尔科·卢比奥以及美国与列日和比利时各地的犹太社区站在一起，”怀特表示，“没有人应该容忍这些袭击。”
Belgium to deploy soldiers to help protect Jewish sites as Iran war fuels surge of antisemitism

Rome — Outside the Great Synagogue, in the narrow streets of Rome’s historic Jewish quarter, Italian soldiers patrol with automatic weapons slung across their chests. It is part of a visible surge in security following a wave of antisemitic incidents across Europe.
One of those soldiers told CBS News the heightened presence came after recent attacks on Jewish sites, including an explosion at a synagogue in Liège, Belgium, last week. The blast caused damage but no injuries, but it was enough to prompt the Belgian government to announce it was deploying military forces to help protect Jewish institutions nationwide.
The soldier in Rome said fewer people were visiting the Jewish neighborhood recently, wary of a repeat of the kind of antisemitic violence seen in Liège and elsewhere in Europe.

Authorities across Europe have reported a rise in antisemitic incidents since the Iran war began, including attacks and threats against Jewish communities in Amsterdam and Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
In France, officials said they foiled a suspected terror plot aimed at Jewish targets.
Antisemitism has been on the rise globally since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel, and the war Israel launched on Gaza in response. Israel and the U.S.’s decision to attack Iran again appears to have reignited antisemitic hatred worldwide.
With Israel directly involved in the widening conflict, Jewish leaders and national security officials in Europe warn the risk of retaliatory or copycat attacks may be increasing again.
Belgium’s decision to deploy soldiers marks an escalation in the response by at least one European government.
Following the attack in Liège, Belgian Interior Minister Bernard Quintin called the move necessary and urgent.
“Against a backdrop of rising antisemitism, the attack that took place at the synagogue in Liège served as a stark reminder that the threat facing Belgium’s Jewish community is very real,” he said. “Ensuring the safety of our fellow citizens is the responsibility of the state in all its forms, regardless of any other political considerations. The deployment of military personnel to reinforce security around Jewish sites will provide direct support to the police.”
Belgian officials say the soldiers will assist law enforcement in guarding synagogues, schools, and community centers, particularly in cities with large Jewish populations such as Brussels and Antwerp, providing both deterrence and rapid response capabilities.
“A 400% increase in antisemitic attacks in Italy”
Set into the cobblestones in Rome’s Jewish quarter are small brass plaques known as Stolpersteine — German for “stumbling stones.” Each one marks the last known home of a Jewish resident deported and killed during the Holocaust.
The small memorials carry a renewed weight today.
“We have a 400% increase in antisemitic attacks in Italy,” Livia Ottolenghi, president of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities (UCEI), told CBS News, citing a recent report by the organization that looked at incidents during 2025. “Two weeks ago, two Jewish youngsters (in Milan) were attacked physically and had to go to the emergency room.”
Ottolenghi said many of the security measures now visible in Italy — armed guards, barricades, controlled access to synagogues and schools — are not new.
Jewish communities across Europe have lived with them for decades.
But now, she said things feel different.
“My personal experience is that for the first time ever in my life, in certain circumstances, I hear myself thinking if it was appropriate to wear the Star of David or not,” she said.
The attack in Liège has drawn a strong response from the United States, where the Trump administration has made tackling antisemitism a priority.

U.S. Ambassador to Belgium Bill White visited the scene of the explosion in Liège just hours after the blast, meeting officials and members of the local Jewish community, and publicly condemning the attack.
“I strongly condemn this antisemitic attack on Belgium’s Jewish community in the strongest possible terms,” he said in a social media post.
“President Donald J. Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the United States stand in solidarity with the Jewish community in Liège and across Belgium,” White said. “No one should tolerate these attacks.”
