How did the zealots accomplish their goals?

The Zealots, a radical Jewish sect during the Second Temple period, aimed to achieve independence from Roman rule and restore Jewish sovereignty. They accomplished their goals through a combination of armed resistance, guerrilla warfare, and inciting rebellion among the Jewish populace. Their most notable uprising was the First Jewish-Roman War (66-73 CE), which culminated in the Siege of Jerusalem. Although ultimately unsuccessful, their fervor inspired later movements and left a lasting impact on Jewish identity and resistance against oppression.
