'Against The Torah': US Tourist Destroys Two Roman Statues at Israel Museum in Jerusalem, Photos of Damaged Ancient Artifacts Surface

A 40-year-old American tourist was arrested at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem for vandalising two ancient Roman statues dating back to the 2nd century AD. The tourist claimed the statues were "blasphemous" and were "against the Torah." The destroyed statues, one of the goddess Athena and the other of a mythological creature called Griffin, were housed in the museum's archaeology wing. Disturbing images from the scene depicted scattered remains of one sculpture and a headless figure of the other. Israeli authorities and the museum management condemned the act, referring to it as a shocking case of cultural heritage destruction. Investigations into the incident are currently underway to determine the extent of the damage and the motives behind the tourist's actions. US F16 Fighter Jet Shoots Down Armed Turkish Drone Operating Near American Troops in Syria.
