The commander of the 8th Scout Ranger Company known as “Destroyer” recounted to the Facebook Fan page Scout Ranger Books, how they successfully neutralized the two infamous terrorist leaders, Isnilon Hapilon and Omar Maute on Monday.

According to “Destroyer” they did not expect that the group that they’re going to attack was the one led by Maute and Hapilon and they only realized that when they were informed by the hostages that they rescued after the operation.

The operation led by Destroyer started at 7PM yesterday, together with the selected members of Army’s Scout Rangers and several special forces tasked to do the ‘final assault’ in Marawi City.

They made sure that no enemy forces could escape the area so they deployed two units in both sides of the road where the Maute group would possibly pass.

Together with two armored vehicles with thermal capability, the snipers from Scout Ranger patiently waited for the right time until dawn.

Finally, after almost six hours, the scout rangers saw people passing the road that they’re guarding.

The Scout Rangers quickly killed the terrorists who passed the road, but they didn’t know that the two were Omar Maute and Isnilon Hapilon who were planning to escape Marawi that day.

Several members of Maute Terrorist Group attempted to recover the bodies of Hapilon and Maute, but they were prevented by the Scout Rangers who had already surrounded the area where Hapilon and Maute were terminated.

When sunrise came, the Scout Rangers together with the armored vehicles assaulted the area where the bodies of Hapilon and Maute were located to recover the bodies of the two terrorist leaders.

After they successfully secured the area, several hostages of the terrorist group were rescued and they informed the soldiers that they had successfully killed Omar Maute and Isnilon Hapilon.

“sir, sina Isnilon Hapilon at Omar Maute ang mga napatay niyo.” the rescued hostages told the members of Scout Ranger.

The soldiers led by “Destroyer” started to scream in joy after they were informed that they had already neutralized the people who started the bloody Marawi Siege.

The bodies of Omar Maute and Isnilon Hapilon would be subjected to DNA testing, according to Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana.

This was the whole story posted by Scout Ranger Books:

Mula kay “Destroyer,” ang commander ng 8th Scout Ranger Company na nakatama kina Isnilon Hapilon at Omar Maute, ito ang mga huling oras ng dalawang notorious na terorista: Alam ng Scout Rangers at ibang units na sumusuporta sa kanila na cordon na nila ang isang grupo ng terorista pero di nila alam na sina Hapilon ito.

Alas siyete ng gabi, nag deploy ng 1 team ng Scout Rangers sa dulo ng kalsada, sa may likod ng block. Kasama nila ang isang armored vehicle na may thermal capability. Isa pang team nag deploy naman sa kabilang dulo ng kalsada na pwede rin nila takasan at ganun din, may armored vehicle din. Alam nila na mag attempt tatakas ang mga terorista kaya nag abang ng nag abang ang mga Rangers.

Hanggang 1:30 ng madaling araw, may tumawid. E alerto ang Ranger, boom kunana. Tumba ang isang terorista. Di nila alam, si Omar Maute na pala yun.

E may pasilip silip pa din, akmang tatawid. Boom kunana, galing naman sa secondary weapon ng armored vehicle.

Tumba din. Di rin alam ng Rangers na yun na pala si Isnilon Hapilon. Madaling araw, inattempt ng mga kasama ng dalawang terorista na i recover ang mga katawan ng dalawang tumba na kasama nila. E nilamayan ng Rangers. Kada may lumapit, pitikan.

Pagliwanag, mabilisan na plano, para kunin ang dalawang bangkay na naitumba nila. Sa isang napaka daring na move, na pang action movie mo lang makita, pinasok ng mga Rangers kasama ang armored vehicles at mabilis na nakuha ang dalawang bangkay.

Maya maya, naglalabasan na mga babaeng hostages. Tinakbo nila at sinabi: “sir, sina Isnilon Hapilon at Omar Maute ang mga napatay niyo.” Hiyawan, sigawan lahat ng tropa! Di nila akalain na natumba na pala nila ang dalawang leader ng mga terorista.

Diyan natapos ang kasamaan ni Hapilon at Maute. (Special request ni “Destroyer” na itong picture ng “Destroyer” building ang ilagay sa kuwento na ito. Very memorable sa 8SRC ito dahil nakuha nila nung July pa ito at a very heavy cost — halos nahati ang kumpanya nila sa dami ng wounded at namatayan pa sila. At siyempre, team effort ang pagkakuha kina Hapilon. Special recognition sa mga units na kasama ng 8SRC na nag cordon sa block na ikinamatayan nina Hapilon.)

The post of Scout Ranger Books went viral and gained thousands of praises from the netizens who were amazed by the braveness of the soldiers who risked their lives just to end the war in Marawi City that started five months ago.

“Sana alam ng ating hukbo kung gaano kayo hinahangaan ng mga Pilipino. At sana malaman rin ng ating hukbo na laging nagdadasal ang mga Pilipino para sa inyo. Pride namin ang katapangan ninyo. Dalangin namin ang kaligtasan ninyo. At Pangarap namin ang natutupad dahil sa inyong sakripisyo. Maraming salamat sa inyong kabayanihan.” Abe Dano said after reading the story published by Scout Ranger Books.

“Good job AFP and to our commander in chief Pres.Duterte.” Netizen Jan Kirkuk remarked.

Netizen DjKnight Notarion also expressed his happiness that justice has already been served to his cousin PFC Marjun Maribao Edano who got killed in action during the Marawi Siege.

“Kahit papaano, nabigyan ng hustisya pagkakadisgrasya ng pinsang buo kong SR sa Marawi. Rest well PFC Marjun Maribao Edaño. Naipaghiganti ka na ng mga katropa mo. Till we meet again insan!”

On Monday, the government announced that Omar Maute and Isnilon Hapilon were killed by the members of the AFP.

However, several members of Maute terrorist group both local and foreigner were still in Marawi City.

Since clashes between state forces and the Maute group erupted about 5 months ago, about 753 terrorists have been killed. At least 47 civilians and 155 soldiers also died in the conflict. Thousands were forced to evacuate.

President Duterte vowed to rehabilitate Marawi City when the siege is over.

They did not published any photo conducted during the operation that killed Omar Maute and Isnilon Hapilon so commander Destroyer requested to use the photo that taken during their successful operation in July because that is one of the most memorable and hardest operation that they conducted.

During that operation, almost half of them were wounded and some of them were killed.
