It was a country-wide outage affecting all STE (Syrian
Telecommunications Establishment) networks which is 93% of all Syrian
prefixes.

The Only Syrian prefixes that were still reachable were 7 prefixes via
AS24814 ( Syrian Computer Society), connected via Turk Telecom AS2481

Services were restored (according to BGP data)  at 12:50 UTC after a 3h
20min outage.
