I'm not saying that you trust or support Hezbollah, I'm pointing out that any argument made based on the number of Hezbollah casualties has no solid foundation. Anyone trying to argue something like "Israel is targeting civilians" or "Israel is reckless about civilian deaths" or even "The IDF is doing a horrible job and is displaying incompetence in this campaign against Hezbollah", based on the ratio of Hezbollah to civilian deaths or the total number of Hezbollah deaths in the casualty reports is making an argument based on data that we have no reason to believe accurate.
