Brussels (CNN)Soldiers stood guard outside the Jewish Museum in central Brussels on Saturday, as Belgium joined France in deploying its military alongside police to counter the threat of potential terror attacks. Security has been stepped up across Europe in the wake of last week's shootings in Paris and a sweeping Belgian counterterror operation two days ago that left two suspects dead in the city of Verviers. An attack at the Jewish Museum in Brussels last year by an accused gunman suspected of having joined ISIS in Syria left four people dead. Soldiers in camouflage gear and police could also be seen by the Great Synagogue of Europe in Brussels and some roads in the area were closed to traffic. Troops have been deployed in Belgium's largest city, Antwerp, to protect its Jewish district.
