The Second Battle of Fallujah, codenamed Operation Phantom Fury, was a major U.S.-led offensive during the Iraq War that took place from November 7 to December 23, 2004. This operation involved American, Iraqi, and British forces targeting insurgent strongholds in Fallujah, resulting in intense urban combat. The battle was one of the largest engagements of the Iraq War and significantly reduced insurgent activity in the region.
