At dawn on November 10, 2007, thirty commandos from the [Afghan 3rd Company, 1st Commando Kandak](/source/ANA_Commando_Brigade) conducted an [air assault](/source/air_assault) raid from five Coalition helicopters on a Taliban compound in Mollakheyl village.<ref>{{cite news

Utilizing [sniper](/source/sniper)s and Coalition [close air support](/source/close_air_support), they were able to break out of the compound and continue the operation.

The [Afghan National Army](/source/Afghan_National_Army) and [Afghan National Police](/source/Afghan_National_Police) assisted the commandos during this operation. They cut off the Taliban's retreat and secured other villages.

No Afghan, Coalition, or civilian casualties were reported, and the operation is considered a success because it broke the Taliban's grip in the Tagab Valley.
