 (@Mission)\n\nDuring the summer of 2006, from July 12 to August 14, Israel 
 dropped hundreds of thousands of bombs and sent ground troops into southern 
 Lebanon using Hezbollah’s capture of 2 Israeli soldiers as a pretext. The 
 Israeli bombardment killed 1200 people and destroyed 145,000 homes, whole 
 towns, and neighborhoods, leaving a landscape littered with unexploded 
 cluster bombs in its wake. These cluster bombs (1.2 million dropped total) 
 continue to claim lives with 32 killed and 200 injured since the official 
 ceasefire. Israel’s military defeat expanded the scope of Hezbollah’s 
 political power bringing Lebanon to a delicate situation today, with a 
 power struggle marked by assassination bombings, strikes, and 
 encampments.\n\nPlease join us for an evening of documentation and analysis 
 of the events in Lebanon and contribute to supporting independent media 
 projects in the country. \n\nThis Pain Has No Ceasefire\nA collection of 
 black and white photographs shot during and directly after the July ‘06 
 war. Images by Ali Tonak and words by Barucha Calamity Peller. Ali and 
 Barucha reported for Pacifica and Turkish radio stations as well as other
