In Qana the number of victims was reduced from "more than 60" to 57 people including 37 children to the final number of 28 people including 18 children.<BR/><BR/>There is enough evidence to assume that the Lebanese Government overestimates the number of victims.BHChhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178467606233596591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20232963.post-1155122062971690442006-08-09T04:14:00.000-07:002006-08-09T04:14:00.000-07:00The reduction of *Houla* victims, not Qana, from 4...The reduction of *Houla* victims, not Qana, from 40 to 1 [if you were referring to what the PM said, and then corrected it], because the people buried under the rubbles stayed miraculously alive.Josyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442661279373501819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20232963.post-1155004131063596412006-08-07T19:28:00.000-07:002006-08-07T19:28:00.000-07:00Also, I noticed that this weekend for the first ti...Also, I noticed that this weekend for the first time the Israeli army has CNN reporters imbedded with it's active units.

This is a very conservative estimate. The truth is likely to be somewhere in between, but much closer to CNN numbers. The Qana example and today's reduction in the number of victims from 26 to 1 indicates that the Lebanese Government is overestimating. Thus the true number as of today is somewhere between 515 and 879 dead Lebanese civilians; more likely the former than the latter. Some of them may be Hezbollah.<BR/><BR/>The estimates of Hezbollah casualties also vary from 55 to 490. The latter is the Israeli claim and is likely to be an overestimate.BHChhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178467606233596591noreply@blogger.com
