The sandstorm continued its way during the last night and this morning, Sunday, to 6 additional countries, including all of Palestine, and as it moved west, it crossed parts of northern Saudi Arabia, southern Syria, Lebanon, eastern Egypt and parts of Sinai. Specifically near the island of Cyprus, it seems that Cyprus is its new destination.
