I want to refute “1000 civilians dead” lie in last war.
Quote:
The Lebanese and AP counts of Lebanon's war dead range from 1,035 to 1,191.

Lebanon's top police office, in coordination with the Ministry of Health, says 1,123 Lebanese died in the war -- 37 soldiers and police officers and 1,086 other people, including 894 named victims and 192 unidentified ones.

The report lists the 1,086 dead as "martyrs." It does not differentiate between civilians and Hezbollah combatants, because the government considers them all Lebanese citizens. It also can be difficult to tell a Hezbollah fighter because many do not wear military uniforms.

Well so its not 1000 civilians dead because Lebanese government include Hezbollah terrorist and other militants in this number. So lets see how many Hezbollah terrorists are died.

Although Hizbollah has refused to make public the extent of the casualties it has suffered, Lebanese officials estimate that up to 500 fighters have been killed in the past three weeks of hostilities with Israel, and another 1,500 injured.

UN officials agrees with this numbers
Quote:
A UN official estimated the deaths at 500, 10 per cent of the force Hizbollah is thought to muster, not all of whom are front-line fighters

So it’s even not close to 1000 civilians.
