10,000 troops backed by tanks and armoured bulldozers continued the Israeli invasion, entering deep into the Lebanon. The Israeli army entered the Bekaa valley into the town of Babeck, 60 miles north of the border. This is the deepest Israeli operation into Lebanon since 1994. Once again as in Qana, the Israeli army dismissed International Law and raided a hospital claiming it to be a Hizbullah base, abducting 5 Lebanese civilians.

They wrote the names of the dead children on their plastic shrouds. " Mehdi Hashem, aged seven ­ Qana," was written in felt pen on the bag in which the little boy's body lay. "Hussein al-Mohamed, aged 12 ­ Qana", "Abbas al-Shalhoub, aged one ­ Qana.'' And when the Lebanese soldier went to pick up Abbas's little body, it bounced on his shoulder as the boy might have done on his father's shoulder on Saturday. In all, there were 56 corpses brought to the Tyre government hospital and other surgeries, and 34 of them were children. When they ran out of plastic bags, they wrapped the small corpses in carpets. Their hair was matted with dust, most had blood running from their noses.

Hamas officials who were detained in the West Bank during an Israeli clampdown in June have accused Israel of maltreating them in custody. Wasfi Kabha and Hasan Khurayshah, who were released this week, both spoke of abuse at the hands of interrogators and poor living conditions in detention.

I want to write a brief piece on a particular facet of my time in MPACUK. You know I was told when I joined MPACUK that a Muslim never truly experiences Allah or Islam, nor understands the Prophets PBUT unless it is through pain and sacrifice of Jihad, and the resulting reflection and contemplation from it. I have found this to be true upon reflection in a very deep way. My dhikr to my charity all become “real” because I have experienced the pain of others for the sake of Allah.

The invasion of Lebanon expanded today as the Israeli cabinet agreed to widen their ground offensive. This news came as three civilians, a mother and her two daughters were killed by an Israeli rocket launched on the southern Lebanese town of Lweizeh. There were further air strikes targeting the Lebanese border villages of Bayyada and Mansoureh as well as attacks on eastern Lebanon.

As we warned last April, John Ware (Panorama) finally managed to air his pro-Israeli propaganda at the expense of the license fee payer. In the documentary, he attempts to paint a well known pro-Palestinian charity as a key funder of terrorism a sponsor of Al Qaeda. Please send a complaint to the BBC.
