Description

The word Jerusalem means ''city of peace'' in Hebrew, Jerusalem is the holy place of three major religions of christianity,islam and judaism. Since more than 3000 years Jerusalem've experienced the bloodshed of millions of peoples, who tired to seize control of the city or defend it against invaders.

Siege of Jerusalem(614) happend during jewish revolts against Heraclius, where more than 20000 jewish rebels under command of Nehemiah ben Hushiel with the help of considerable number of persian troops under command of Shahrbaraz besieged the city for twenty days and kept pounding the walls of Jerusalem with ballistas and other engines.

The siege resulted in a massacre of the Christians in Jerusalem and destruction of Christian churches and other buildings, and notably the destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulcure. According to Antiochus, Shahrbaraz ordered a swift razing and looting of Jerusalem. Having recognized the assistance of the Jews in the significant capture, he even gave them the opportunity to personally massacre their Christian enemies.
