When you ask a 'why' question like this one, it could be approached from different angles.
From the Bible account, Jerusalem was conquered and rebuilt two times as a punishment from Jehovah upon his people the Israelites. The books of Isaiah and Jeremiah prophecy Jerusalem's capture to be by the Babylonians. This happened in the 6th century BCE. The reasons for this punishment from God was because the Israelites as a nation had flagrantly disobeyed Jehovah for many years. God said that the land would rest for 70 years. Then Cyrus released the Jews to return and rebuild Jerusalem.
Next: Jesus foretold that Jerusalem would again be abandoned by God. The Israelites had rejected the Messiah; even manipulated his death with the Romans. Therefore in 70CE the Romans conquered and destroyed Jerusalem a second time.
(Since this is approx where The Bible ends its record of Jerusalem's history, this is where my knowledge regarding Jerusalem ends. Why it was rebuilt will need to be filled in by others.)
Of note: The temple itself has not been rebuilt. The animal sacrifices have not been reintroduced. And all the archived genealogical records have never been retrieved. No one really knows what tribe they belong to. It cannot be established without the records.
