The impact of the 12-day war between Israel and Iran was still visible in Tehran on Saturday. Several buildings in the capital suffered damage as Israeli strikes targeted sites across the city.

CAIRO, July 20 (Reuters) - At least 67 people were killed by Israeli fire while they waited for U.N. aid trucks in northern Gaza on Sunday, the territory's health ministry said, as Israel issued new evacuation orders for areas packed with displaced Gazans, some of whom began to leave.

Humanitarian officials see a pattern of Israel retaliating against those who criticize its conduct in Gaza and toward Palestinians.

An explosion was seen in the northern Gaza Strip from southern Israel early Sunday. The reason of the explosion shortly after midnight GMT was not known.

Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics said on Sunday it was considering moving up publication of its monthly consumer price index (CPI) to before financial markets open partly in a bid to boost trading activity.

Weeks after his country was battered by waves of Israeli strikes and the US bombed three of its prized nuclear facilities, Iran’s foreign minister came to a gathering of regional diplomats in China this week with a simple ask.

"Strengthening air defense capabilities is clearly an urgent priority for Iran at the moment," expert Hongda Fan told Newsweek.

Several smaller countries are taking a stand against Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza. Critics are skeptical about their impact, but others see the pressure as a first step in a global shift.

A group of musicians from the United Kingdom and Ireland say they have formed a syndicate to advocate for artists speaking out against Israel’s war in Gaza and the role of foreign governments in funding it.

The head of the Bureau of Consular Affairs said his office regularly weighed criticism of Israel when determining whether to deny or revoke student visas.

Israel's knocking out of Iranian air defenses also cleared the path for U.S. aircraft to launch their own strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran then attacked the U.S.'s Al Udeid military base in Qatar before a ceasefire was reached.
