Eye witness accounts say the child’s mother was heard shouting “Hey!” and “Listen!” but the boy disregarded her. One witness told the press, “All I heard was ‘HYAAAAH’ before the crash. Kid looked like he was searching for something.”

The Hecht Museum in Haifa told the BBC the crockery dated back to the Bronze Age between 2200 and 1500BC - and was a rare artefact because it was so intact.
The boy’s father Alex said they will feel “relieved” to see the jar restored but added they are “sorry” because “it will no longer be the same item”.
Man. Shit happens!
If that jar was so important, it should be behind bullet proof glass. It probably had a postit nearby that said “do not touch”. I blame whoever had that jar in their care.

I can’t believe they didn’t have it behind glass. They must have forgotten that people can be clumsy even when they’re not aggressively idiotic. At least it was just an innocent child and not some grandstanding jackass looking for Internet clout.
“The jar was accidentally damaged by a young child visiting the museum, and the response will be accordingly.”
Well, that’s their nearest hospital getting bombed then.
a trip to a museum in Israel.

Alex also said he was “in shock” to see his son next to the smashed jar and at first thought "it wasn’t my child that did
Funny how that works
