Answer:

By the year 70, the attackers had breached Jerusalem's outer walls and began a systematic ransacking of the city.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since that action coincided with Passover, the Romans allowed pilgrims to enter the city but refused to let them leave thus strategically depleting food and water supplies within Jerusalem.
