"There have been about a thousand Lebanese casualties, less than one per air strike."

Thats one thousand Lebanese killed in one week.


As usual, Dianavan, you've got it wrong.

There have been about 300 Lebanese deaths since Hezbollah started this war. A casualty refers to any kind of injury, from a stubbed toe to death.

Part of the problem is that the Hezbollah heroes, like their Hamas friends, hide within, and launch their rockets and missles from within, the civilian populations.

As Peace has pointed out, if Israel wasn't being as careful as possible to minimize civilian casualties, the death toll would be in the many thousands. Which, btw, puts the big fat lie to CarolC's constant claim of Israeli genocide.

Also, Israel's attempts to minimize civilian casualties is in direct contrast to your Hezbollah and Hamas friends whose specific intent is to kill civilians.
