Qanus Island

Coalition airstrike on Islamic State positions, Qanus Island, Iraq, September 2019

Qanus Island is a river island located in the Tigris River in Saladin Governorate, northern Iraq.[1]

After it became a staging area for the terrorist organization Islamic State during an insurgency in the 2010s, it was bombed on 10 September 2019.[2] American F-15 and F-35 fighter jets dropped 40 tonnes of explosives (more than 80.000 pounds of laser-guided bombs) by the US-led coalition forces.[3][4] According to Major General Eric T Hill, "We're denying Daesh the ability to hide on Qanus Island".[5]
