American Tourist Arrested for Smashing Ancient Roman Statues He Deemed 'Idolatrous'

An American tourist was arrested for destroying two Roman-era statues at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
The suspect claimed he smashed the statues because he considered them contrary to the Torah and a form of idolatry.
The tourist's lawyer argued he suffers from "Jerusalem syndrome," a condition causing religious delusions in visitors.
The damaged 2nd century statues are being restored by experts at the Israel Museum.
The incident follows a series of recent attacks on historical and religious artifacts in Jerusalem.
