while The Wars of the Jews, Phlavius' book on the time, is one of the most important sources of information about the war, or rather a rebellion, it is not the only one. the romans themselves documented the uprising, and at the end of it, they burned the temple in jerusalem and took the Menora to Rome, an event depicted on Titus arch in Rome.
I don't think there is a singe researcher today that doubts the rebellion took place.

Josephus is the only JEWISH writer known....not the only source about the Roman Jewish war. Yes, it happened.

Archaeologists have confirmed much of it, but scholars think Josephus might have hedged the details a little since he was a Jew writing history for the Romans.

The Romans allowed his work to live on, though not portraying them in the best of light. I would doubt that the Romans would have allowed such a work to be made and distributed without their acknowledgment of it.
There is another source to support it, though many will not accept it. The Bible prophesied some of the events in exact detail.

The Temple is destroyed, the Romans minted coins with the reverse referring to the war, Titus made an arch that is in Rome to this day honoring the victory of Rome in that war and Jews are all over the world due to Rome kicking them out says enough.

This was when the battle of Masada supposedly took place. All I know is that when visiting Masada, i got goosebumps and it was one of the most inspiring places I have ever visited.

Well, the fall of Jerusalem and the siege of Masada were certainly real.
