France has deployed nearly 5,000 police to protect Jewish schools and mobilised thousands more security forces in the wake of the terror attacks in Paris.
Addressing parents of a Jewish school south of the capital, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said soldiers would also be posted as reinforcements at the country's 717 Jewish schools.
France is also mobilising a further 10,000 members of the security forces to protect other sensitive sites, a deployment which will begin on Tuesday.
It comes as the country's Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, said that one of the three gunmen who killed 17 people in the capital "undoubtedly" had an accomplice and vowed to continue the hunt.
Amedy Coulibaly, who killed a policewoman and then four Jewish shoppers at a kosher supermarket, likely received help from someone else, Mr Valls said, pledging "the hunt will go on".
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has visited the supermarket to pay tribute to the victims.
Three of those who died were police officers, and a ceremony to honour them will be held on Tuesday.
One of them, Clarissa Jean-Philippe, will reportedly be posthumously given the Legion of Honour, France's highest decoration.
President Francois Hollande held a crisis meeting with cabinet ministers to discuss security measures after the attacks raised questions for the country's intelligence service.
Brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi - who attacked the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and were eventually killed at a printing works north of Paris - and Coulibaly all had a history of extremism and were known to French intelligence.
Video has emerged of Coulibaly defending the attacks and pledging allegiance to Islamic State.
The hunt is also continuing for Coulibaly's partner, 26-year-old Hayat Boumeddiene.
On Sunday, Mr Hollande joined Mr Netanyahu on a visit to a synagogue as authorities sought to reassure France's Jewish population, the largest in Europe, that it is safe to stay in the wake of the attacks.
