Fast Fact
Jerusalem – one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in the world – has been destroyed at least 2 times, besieged 23 times, attacked another 52 times, and captured and recaptured 44 times. Jerusalem Day, an Israeli national holiday celebrated on 28 Iyar of the Hebrew calendar, marks the reunification of the city in 1967 – the first time the whole city was under Jewish rule since the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE.
