Thanks for posting those links. From what I gather from them, these missile estimates have come from Israel itself. Whether they are to believed or not is another question. I can't say that they are wrong. However, if you look at the damage done, it seems almost irrelevant how many there are, because it is clear they are not doing the type of damage anyone would associate with a serious military threat.

BTW I like how the Asia Times link you posted starts:

Nearly a quarter-century after Israeli forces pummeled Beirut to the hellish crescendo of an explosion every three seconds, a rebuilt capital crumbles one artillery strike at a time as Israel seeks to wipe out the enemy it spawned.
