Operation Phantom Fury

Operation Phantom Fury was a major military assault by U.S. and Iraqi forces in late 2004 aimed at retaking the city of Fallujah from insurgents. The operation involved intense urban combat, with troops clearing neighborhoods of militants who had disrupted stability and attacked coalition forces. It was one of the fiercest battles of the Iraq War, resulting in significant casualties and extensive destruction. The goal was to eliminate insurgent strongholds, restore security, and establish government control. The operation showcased coordinated efforts in urban warfare and aimed to restore order in a city heavily influenced by insurgent activity.
