Well, it is not known if this is true or not. But, in The Bible it says that it was destroyed by a "rain of fire". So, pretty much it says that fireballs fell from the sky and destroyed the city.

When did the babylonians attack the city of Jerusalem and send the judeans into exile?

Nebuchadnezzar defeated the Egyptians in 605 BC and pursued them as far as Rapha, on the way accepting the surrender of Jerusalem. At this time he took Daniel and his companions as hostages. In 597 BC Nebuchadnezzar again captured Jerusalem following the revolt by Jehoiakim, which was maintained by his son Jehoiachin. This time a large number of people were deported, among them the prophet Ezekiel. The final capture and destruction of Jerusalem took place in 586 BC following the revolt of Zedekiah. Large numbers of people were force-marched into Babylonia and the city was destroyed and the temple looted and burned. The few who survived later fled into Egypt when a group of Jewish terrorists killed Gedaliah, the Babylonian governor. At this time the land was so empty that the Edomites moved across the Rift Valley and settled in the south of Judea, which became known as Idumea.
