On November 8th, US and Iraqi forces launched Operation Phantom Fury to retake Fallujah. The operation involved over 10,000 troops conducting a methodical sweep of the city. By November 10th, Marines discovered a slaughterhouse linked to the execution of Nicholas Berg, though key insurgent leaders had fled. Intense urban combat ensued, with Marines engaging in house-to-house fighting. On November 13th, a rescue mission highlighted the heroism of Marines like Brad Castle, who was severely injured but continued to fight. The operation concluded successfully after six days, with 1,000 insurgents killed and 200 captured.
