National shutdown

In August 2019, the Syrian government enforced a 10-day national internet shutdown (July 28 – August 7), aligning with the national secondary education exams to prevent question leaks and cheating. Internet access was disrupted daily during early mornings (approximately 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM local time), following a consistent pattern documented by Oracle Internet Intelligence, CAIDA IODA, and Google Transparency Report, which recorded significant drops in web traffic.
