They were under fire from the house and round the back you might have seen a gun barrel and supports (some sort of LMG I guess), poked out of the doorway. The soldiers took some shots and then threw in a grenade.

This is the raw footage with the bits where soldiers faces could be seen blacked out.

The real story is the delay by the Dept of Defense in releasing the story when the chain of command from the ground commander up had cleared it for release and then focussing their press release on the wounded rather than the success of the mission.
