A clip from a French documentary titled “Triangle of Death” about Iraq in 2003 by director Paul Comiti. It documents a scene that repeated almost daily: a nighttime raid on a house based on inaccurate intelligence. During the raid, a small girl is seen hiding in the kitchen, trembling with fear and raising her hands, followed by her parents in a panic. It later becomes clear that the address given by the informant was wrong, and the house belonged to an innocent civilian family, leading the officer to reprimand the team. The area where this scene was filmed is known as the “Triangle of Death” (Latifiya, Yousifiya, Mahmudiya) and was one of the most dangerous zones for U.S. forces, with the majority of residents being Sunni.
