An Institute for the Study of War map shows Al Huwayjah on the edge of ISIS' territory in Iraq.

According to the task force, ISIS used the building to conduct their terrorist operations, as well as storing illicit materials. Judging by the secondary explosion after the missile hits, the facility may have also been storing bombs.

Here is the footage of the strike:
