    Unless you meant to link a different source, I have to just assume you didn’t actually read it

    2,800 injured (according to the Lebanon health minister, not Hezbollah - and no data on how many were associated with hezbolla)

    12 dead, of which 2 children and 4 health care workers (50% unaffiliated, a far-cry from your claimed 0.1%)(also reported from the health minister

    Thanks for providing a source, though

      The article states that his figures are coming from Hezbollah.

            oops, you left out this part:

            However, it has not given details on the locations and circumstances, saying only that they were “martyred on the road to Jerusalem" - a phrase it has been using to refer to fighters killed by Israel.

            Not to mention that the article does not say that the health ministry is getting their victim numbers from hezbollah, and why would they? They are their own agency, they’re capable of gathering their own metrics from their own hospitals.

            Also, even if you were right about where the numbers are coming from, that article still says that half of the casualties were civilian non-combatants.
