Which operation resulted in the recapture of Kandahar from Taliban forces during the War on Terror?

The recapture of Kandahar from Taliban forces during the War on Terror was primarily achieved through Operation Enduring Freedom. This operation, initiated in October 2001, aimed to dismantle al-Qaeda and remove the Taliban from power in Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks.

As part of this military campaign, the coalition forces aimed to target key Taliban strongholds, which included Kandahar, the birthplace of the Taliban. The operation involved comprehensive airstrikes, as well as ground support from international forces, resulting in the rapid downfall of Taliban control in major cities like Kandahar.

The other operations listed do not pertain to the context of the War on Terror or the specific recapture of Kandahar. Operation Provide Hope was focused on providing humanitarian aid to Eastern Europe in the early 1990s. Operation Desert Storm, part of the Gulf War, targeted Iraq in 1991 to liberate Kuwait. Operation Just Cause was aimed at depose Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega in 1989. Thus, these operations are unrelated to the situation in Afghanistan during the War on Terror.
