The Marawi Siege was a brutal five-month armed conflict that erupted on May 23, 2017 between Philippine government forces and ISIS-affiliated militants, including the Maute and Abu Sayyaf groups. The fighting began after security forces launched an operation to capture terrorist leader Isnilon Hapilon, triggering intense urban warfare across the city.
Key events included the rescue of civilians from Amai Pakpak Hospital on May 24 and the eventual liberation of Marawi on October 23, 2017. The battle resulted in massive destruction—95% of the city heavily damaged, over 1.1 million civilians displaced, and hundreds of casualties from both government forces and militants.
The siege became the longest urban battle in modern Philippine history, highlighting the harsh realities of terrorism and the sacrifices made by Filipino soldiers and civilians.
