Bahraini hackers successfully hacked the systems of the US Navy’s Fifth
Fleet, obtaining access to confidential documents.

On Sunday, the hacking group known as al-Toufan (Flood) Team conducted an
operation targeting the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, which is putting
maritime navigation in the Middle East at risk.

The group claimed to have acquired documents containing photographs and
detailed maps from within the American military base in Bahrain.

They released a fraction of the documents, stating, “What we have is
greater, and it will reach those [who are] concerned and support … the
operations of the Axis of Resistance against the American Axis of Evil.”

The data leak is dedicated to “the heroes of the valiant and honorable
resistance in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq, and the righteous
martyrs … on the road to al-Quds,” they added.

*28,340 martyred in Gaza*

Tensions in the Middle East have escalated due to the United States'
backing of the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip, which has
resulted in the deaths of at least 28,340 Palestinians, predominantly
women, and children, leaving 67,984 others injured since October 7th.

Earlier today, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO)
reported that it received a report of an incident 40NM south of the Yemeni
port

city of al-Mukha.

The latest announcement comes following a series of aggressions

launched by the American and British forces on several governorates in
Yemen.

Two days ago, *Al Mayadeen*'s correspondent reported on Saturday, citing
Syrian sources, that two US occupation bases in the Conoco oil field

located in the Deir-Ezzor countryside, eastern Syria, were targeted with
missiles.

Moments later, another US occupation base in the Al-Omar oil field in the
same province came under a drone attack, our correspondent reported.
