{{Security has been stepped up at Jewish sites across Belgium after a gunman shot dead three people at the Jewish Museum in the capital Brussels.}}
A man who was detained by police shortly after the attack has been released without charge. A manhunt has been launched for a different suspect.
A fourth victim remains in a critical condition.
Two of the dead were Israeli tourists, a couple in their 50s, Israel’s foreign ministry said on Sunday.
The Belgian prosecutor’s office said the victims were struck by bullets in the face or throat and Brussels Mayor Yvan Mayeur said he thought the shooting was probably a “terrorist act”.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement strongly condemning the killings which he said were “the result of endless incitement against the Jews and their state”.
Belgium has a Jewish population of some 42,000, about half of whom live in the capital.
