The article said that shrapnel hit the statue. Shrapnel or debris from an explosive round can carry quite a long way even beyond the direct blast radius. A tank or artillery round hitting the statue would have left nothing but a fine veil of dust floating in the air.

It also says that a tank shell left a bowling-ball sized dent in the side of the building with some blackening of the rocks. Doesn't sound like any 105mm tank shell that I've ever heard of: a sabot would have gone right through and an HE would have brought the wall down. So, maybe the IDF is using "rubber-tank shells" to match the "rubber bullets" against the Palis.
