fighting's
Conflict's present action
Fighting's is the possessive or contracted form of fighting.
As a possessive, it typically modifies a noun to indicate something belonging to or associated with combat or struggle: The fighting's intensity surprised military observers.
As a contraction of "fighting is" or "fighting has," it appears in casual speech and writing: The fighting's been going on for weeks now.
The word appears far more often in its uncontracted forms.
