Recently there was an "incident" in which three submarine fiber Optic cables were "damaged" in the mediterranean sea. These cables provide support for data/voice/video transmission on internet from Middle East to Europe/West.

So to avoid a mejor colapse in the systems, video is being restricted in some pages as to allow data transmission and keep/maintain communication with the rest of the world. These issues would be fixed by Dec 31st according to Qtel press note on their site.
