Sunday's Middle East Death Count

Sunday's grim death toll in the Middle East: at least 28 Lebanese deaths and up to 15 Israelis, including soldiers. From the Middle East Times:

Israeli warplanes pounded areas north and south of Beirut August 4, killing at least 28 people, as Israel's biggest city Tel Aviv braced for a rain of retaliatory Hizbullah rocket fire.
Another time when I had to search (and search and search and... well, you get the idea) to find any information on Lebanese casualties while the Israeli victim count was always readily available.

Wow: if this is what a complete cessation of violence brings, thank goodness Hizbollah/Hezbollah and Israel aren't fighting anymore!
