The IDF has temporarily halted leave for combat units, citing the ongoing assessment of the situation and the need for constant force deployment. This decision comes amidst heightened tensions and increasing threats from Iran following an alleged Israeli strike in Syria that killed a senior Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps commander. The IDF also announced the call-up of reservists to bolster its Air Force's air defense array.
Ukraine's Ministry of Defense reported that Russia is moving its most combat-ready units, including marines, airborne troops, and the 49th army, from the Kherson direction, likely due to their own losses and limited reserves. The recent blowing up of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant by Russian forces was apparently done to prevent an offensive by the Defense Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson area and release necessary reserves for transfer to other areas. The Russian leadership is trying to make it impossible for Ukraine to liberate captured territories by making them eliminate the aftermath of the man-made disaster.
