It's clear from the Bible that it was Israel and Moses and Joshua caused the Bronze Age collapse:
Moses claims outright that he is going to destroy the Hittites, and six other Nations in Canaan, in Deutoronomy 7. The destruction of the Hittites was perhaps the central event in the Bronze Age Collapse.
Israel was also the successor power in the region, which clearly indicates they were the ones who had won the preceding war.
What went wrong is the Biblical Timeline. Rabbis and Church Fathers placing Moses in the 15th century BC. But he must have died around 1177, at the even of the Canaanite Conquest/Bronze Age Collapse. Note that the Biblical Timeline is not part of the Bible, but a commentary.
