Lebanon experienced a disruption to its internet routing control plane in the early hours of July 20, 2026. The event, which lasted approximately two hours, was characterized by a significant anomaly in BGP routing visibility. The disruption began at 02:30 UTC and concluded by 04:30 UTC.
Technical Details
The event registered a severity score of 141, focused on the BGP median signal. This signal measures the control plane visibility of internet routing prefixes, indicating potential instability in how networks announce their reachability to the global internet. The BGP signal recorded a drop of 1% from its peak value during the observation window. Other network telemetry signals, including active probing for IPv4 reachability and traffic volume forecasts, showed minimal deviation from normal baselines.
The cause has not been publicly attributed.
Connectivity was reported restored by the end of the observation period.
