Vandalizing Tourist: US Man Arrested for Damaging Ancient Art at Israel Museum
A 40-year-old American tourist was arrested for intentionally smashing and damaging Roman-era statues at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. The suspect believed the statues went against the Torah. The damaged artifacts, dating back to the 2nd century CE, were transferred for restoration. This incident follows a similar case in February when an American tourist vandalized a statue in Jerusalem's Old City.
