When the Israelites revolted against Roman domination in the first century AD. the Roman Army swept through the entire area. They destroyed city after city, and the temple in Jerusalem. Almost all of the records of the Israelites, kept by the priests, scribes and Levites were lost. They massacred nearly all the Israelites in the area of Israel/Palestine and kept up their relentless pursuit until they felt sure that all were killed or completely run out of the whole surrounding country. Immediately afterwards, people from the surrounding areas moved in, descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's first son, claiming that God had actually promised the land to him.
In 622 AD, Muhammad, a descendant of Ishmael, founded the religion of Islam and built a temple (The Temple of the Rock) in Jerusalem directly on top of the ruins of the Jewish temple, destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. The "Rock" is supposedly the rock upon which Abraham tried to sacrifice his son, Isaac, but the Muslims claim it was actually where Abraham tried to sacrifice his son, Ishmael.
In the intervening centuries, the Israelites were prevented from returning to the area by one means or another until the end of World War 2, although there were at least four significant migrations between 1881 and the end of World War 2. The British, from 1917 - 1948, ruled the area that is now Israel, under mandate, and the British army was the peace keeping force for the area. All other forms of local government were subject to the mandate under British administration. The mandate contained language that favored the establishment of ...a national home for the Jewish people... but Israelite Immigration was still restricted.
Ship after ship of Israelite refugees began landing on the coast along the Mediterranean Sea without permission from the British. However, the British wouldn't let them be removed or molested by anyone. They were allowed to build compounds and fortified settlements for their families and friends. Soon there were thousands of Israelite immigrants pouring across the borders from all directions and doing the same.
When the mandate ended and the British withdrew, skirmishes broke out. The indigenous peoples viewed the Israelite immigrants as interlopers and tried to force them out and reclaim the homesteads that they had owned before World War 2 and the latest Israelite migration. The immigrants were externally supported with money, arms, and supplies. The day after the founding of the state of Israel; Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq attacked. The Middle East area has alternated between war and peace for the last 63 years (1948-2011).
Israelites still fervently seek to pray at the West Wall (the Wailing Wall). To this day, this is the only available artifact of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem, the capital of the ancient nation of Israel, that remains available to the Jewish people.

No, the Vikings did not conquer Jerusalem. While they were known for their raids and explorations across Europe, including parts of the British Isles and the Mediterranean, Jerusalem remained under the control of various powers, primarily the Byzantine Empire and later the Muslim Caliphates during the Viking Age. The city has a rich history of conquest and conflict, but Vikings did not play a significant role in its military history.
