Casualties edit

  • An estimated 1,191 civilians were killed, mainly from Shia communities, both in southern Lebanon and in the Shia suburbs of Beirut, in addition to an unknown number of Hezbollah militants.[1]
  • Some 1,200 civilians (almost a third of them children) died, 4,000 were wounded, and a million were displaced.[2]
  • These attacks resulted in 1,183 civilian fatalities.[3]
  • By the war’s end, 43 Israeli and 1,109 Lebanese civilians had been killed. The military casualties included 118 Israeli and 28 Lebanese soldiers, and roughly 200 Hezbollah fighters. Israel claims to have killed as many as 500 Hezbollah militants in July and August of 2006, but independent and reliable sources judge this number to be too high.[4]
  • Israeli attacks had killed 1,191 people in Lebanon and injured more than 4,400, the overwhelming majority of them civilians. (AI 2007 [1])
  • The conflict resulted in at least 1,109 Lebanese deaths, the vast majority of whom were civilians, 4,399 injured, and an estimated 1 million displaced. (HRW 2007 [2])
  • Lebanon: 1,109 civilians (Lebanese government); 28 Lebanese soldiers (not in conflict with Israelis)(Agence France Presse, 6 August); Hezbollah - there are no reliable figures. Israeli military estimate more than 530. Hezbollah and fellow Shia militant group Amal say 250 fighters have been killed (AP, December 2006)[5]
  • Lebanese losses were far greater however: more than 1,000 civilians lost their lives, while the southern part of the country was left devastated and partially uninhabitable - to a chorus of international condemnation.[6]
  • More than 1,000 Lebanese civilians had died, along with more than 100 Israel soldiers and 43 Israeli civilians. Hizbollah did not announce its casualties, but Israel estimated that more than 500 fighters had died.[7]
