Pipelines a mile deep are difficult to sabotage. However, a few years ago there were at least two instances of cable breaks which affected international Internet connections. The causes were never adequately explained, to my satisfaction, and one was in the Med near the coast of Egypt.
If they were simply accidents, maybe caused by a seismic shift of the sea floor, then that's one thing. But if someone was testing the ability to shut down the Internet at will, then that's something else; and it would suggest a capability to do other things on the sea floor.
