Because the history of Jerusalem is marked by numerous historic sieges, the term “second battle of Jerusalem” can refer to multiple events. The most notable “second” sieges in the city’s ancient and modern history include: [1, 2]

• The Babylonian Siege (587 BC): The second major siege of Jerusalem by King Nebuchadnezzar II. This brutal campaign ended with the destruction of the First Temple, the sacking of the city, and the exile of the Judean population to Babylon. [1, 2]
• The Roman Siege (70 CE): While the First Jewish-Roman War is the most famous, the broader conflict involved Titus’s second major assault and eradication of the Jewish insurgency in Judaea. This culminated in the destruction of the Second Temple and the razing of the city. [1, 2, 3]
• The 1948 Arab-Israeli War (Operation Yevusi): Also known as the Second Battle of Nebi Samwil, this was an attempted Palmach offensive in April and May 1948 to take key positions around the city to assert Jewish control. [1]
