On May 23, 2017, elite forces tried to capture the leader of the Islamist rebels in an apartment not too far from the Army's brigade camp in Marawi, capital of Lanao del Sur province. The botched operation preempted a plan to turn the Islamic City into an ISIS-controlled province in the southern Philippines, setting the stage for a gun battle that lasted five months. This is the story of the destruction of Marawi.
