Does anyone have any idea of the true numbers of hizbolla casualties? I think i heard Shimon Peres claimed 600 dead, and more than that number wounded out of a total force of 2500 hizbolla fighters in the South. The Israelis have always tried to keep down the hyperbole but these numbers seem high to me. Is it because some of these folks have already been counted as civilian casualties? In any case if these number are anywhere near true, the loss of half of hizbollas southern force would be a significant development and all the cheering from nazralla to assad to ahminajad is for propaganda purposes only/mostly.
