I you mean the city of Jerusalem, it was not destroyed although it suffered severe damage. This was a consequence of the war. If you mean the temple, it is unclear if it were ordered destroyed by Titus, or if it was destroyed by an accident of the war. Some ancient writers claim that Titus wanted to spare the temple, but a fire due to either the rebels or the Romans destroyed it. At army rate, it was Titus, as commander or the Roman army, who gets the credit or the blame.
