Coalition and Iraqi forces carried out airstrikes Tuesday against an island south of Mosul in the Tigris River believed to be a safe haven for the Islamic State group in Iraq.
Fireballs exploded across Qanus Island in Iraqs Salahuddin province, as plumes of smoke billowed up into the sky, a video posted on Twitter showed. Black-clad Iraqi counter-terrorism troops are seen watching over the operation from the ground.

In the 7th century, concentrating all of your strength on a small river island may, or may not, have been a good idea. In the 21st century, against an opponent with overwhelming air power, not so much.

I watched it last night. Like the “infested” reference.
It looked to me like they hit the island at each end first to possibly corral the vermin to the center, and then “fumigate” whatever might have made it there?

+/- 3 lbs per 9/11 death-both in 2001 and 2012.
Fitting.

Is that what happened? I'm sure I'll never know but it is a fun theory.
