Over the last couple of weeks, in continued violation of the ceasefire agreement, the IDF has been intensifying their targeted assassination strikes against high-ranking Hamas figures, aimed at dismantling their new chain of command.
While Hamas' original general staff has been completely wiped out, with the last pre-war member of their leadership being killed in May 2026, the IDF has now been trying to dismantle their replacement figures, and replacements for replacements, who are now commanding the remnants of Hamas' heavily-degraded military wing.
In the last three days, Israeli airstrikes killed 2 out of 5 of Hamas' brigade commanders - the commanders of their Rafah and Khan Younis Brigades. Both were killed in targeted strikes on the city of Khan Younis, where the remnants of the Rafah Brigade are currently based due to the IDF occupation of most of Rafah Governorate. The commander of the Rafah Brigade Nael Abu Obeid previously served as deputy commander of the Rafah Brigade, and commander of the Tel al-Sultan and Yibna Battalions (Subordinated to the Rafah Brigade).
Additionally, the IDF has been targeting Hamas' battalion and company commanders. Hamas has 24 battalions spread across 5 brigades, all of which are heavily degraded and are no longer a capable fighting force. A targeted assassination strike on Northern Gaza on Monday killed the commander of the Jabaliya Battalion, which is subordinated to Hamas' Northern Brigade. Additional strikes on Monday on Khan Younis allegedly killed a company commander in the Hamas operations headquarters.
While these attacks have primarily been limited to the remnants of Hamas' military wing (Al-Qassam Brigades), some further strikes have been carried out on forces from the second largest Gaza-based armed group: the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's military wing (Saraya al-Quds Brigades), where they targeted a rocket launcher cell commander in Khan Younis and a reconnaissance platoon commander in western Gaza City.

Videos are slowly starting to be released visually confirming Ukrainian advances north of Lyman.
Remember, the Ukrainian and Russian commands (and even some geolocaters) have been purposefully not posting videos from this area for both OPSEC and informational purposes.
The Ukrainian command is also starting to acknowledge these advances, but has only mentioned the former Russian bridgehead west of the Nitrius River as being cleared.
Keep in mind, this counteroffensive will soon enter it's 5th month. I have been one of the only people in the world reporting on it since day 1. While OPSEC remains in place, open source methods are still available to determine the advances, and that's what I intend to keep doing.

Explosions have been periodically heard from the Strait of Hormuz for the last couple of hours, likely due to ongoing Iranian attacks against violating vessels.

The Russian 144th Motor Rifle Division, responsible for this sector of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, has also, for the first time, acknowledged the ongoing Ukrainian operation.
While they deny Ukraine has made any advances, in this video they posted they happen to show strikes on Ukrainian forces in the village of Kolodyazi - over 13 km behind their claimed frontline, and 26 km west of Svyatohirsk, which Putin claims is under Russian control.

Genuinely, how did the Russian 144th Motor Rifle Division manage to fuck up so hard in Lyman...
Around 420 kmยฒ of advances and grey-zones made since early-2025 have been cleared by Ukrainian forces, most of which was done in the last 4 months (some smaller clearing operations were ongoing before May).
And the Ukrainian advance continued eastward to the Zherebets River, which they have already reached at multiple points.
