The 8,100-foot-long fibre-optic cable link that is part of the India-Middle East-Western Europe system broke on Wednesday around 30 miles off the Egyptian coast. This left Lebanon facing a cut off from internet. On Friday, the nearby nation of Cyprus agreed to re-route some of Lebanon’s web traffic in and out of the country, while Lebanon’s state-run telecom provider said it would start routing traffic through a series of reserve cables.

Since Friday Night, Internet service in Lebanon is slowly and partially returning and expected to be fully recovered by coming Wednesday.

    Yes, Lebanon was the only country that was facing this. and officials are claiming that services has been restored.

    However, unofficial media news are claiming that services would be restored completely by coming Wednesday.
