More Information on the Israel-Hezbollah-Lebanon Carnage a Trois

Let's start here:

Many Israelis appear to be growing pessimistic about the ongoing war with Hezbollah, with two newspaper polls showing support for the operations falling.
Israel has been losing this war, regardless of how many they have managed to kill. But trust me, I do not lose sight of how many civilians have died in Israel from Hizbollah rockets; but I also notice the death count in Lebanon is well more than 10:1 with a massive amount of the entire country's infrastructure just wiped the hell out.

This piece highlights the intense damage wrought in Northern Lebanon (despite Israel's claims not to really go beyond South Lebanon). Al Jazeera tells us about the last road from Beirut and the head of Lebanon brings his plea to "end this tragedy now."

I have not, however, seen a recent comprehensive death toll for Lebanon. I suspect there is no way to tell this accurately, although the figures for Israel are probably pretty accurate.
