War in Numbers - Israeli side

It's the second week of fighting and here are some number -

Israeli civilians – Wounded and killed - 18 killed and 476 wounded - 3 civilians (2 of them - 8 and 10 years old brothers) and 2 soldiers were killed during the day today.
Israeli soldiers killed - 12 – 8 soldiers were killed during the kidnapping, 4 soldiers were killed in the attack.
Katyusha missiles fired towards Israel – 750~800
Rockets missile fired towards IDF posts - ~1000
Targets attacked in Lebanon - ~1000
Number of IAF attacks - ~1500
IDF artillery shells fired - 6000 from 36 cannons

Unfortunately, I don't have the numbers (it's sounds horrible) of the Lebanese side... But, I can guess that the number of wounded and killed is much higher.

Update by Luka (Thanks)- BBC is reporting at least 230 Lebanese killed so far - As far as I know, most of them, civilians.

Update - A survey conducted today - 94% of citizens in northern Israel - Support the continuation of the attack on Hizbollah. Some say they won't mind to spend another few weeks in shelters as long as it resolve the situation.

During the week I will post a review and explanation about the whole opperation at north.

At 1:31 PM, July 19, 2006, Jameel @ The Muqata said...: Ilan: Are you SURE that Israel has 26 civilian casulties so far?

There were the 8 from the train yard, 2 in Nahariya, 2 in Meiron, 1 in Tzefat

(Those are the ones I recall so far)

Jameel - There are contradictive numbers in different newspapers. I used Ma'ariv numbers as they were published today. But you are right, I was also suprised by the high number. Mistake?
At 3:47 PM, July 19, 2006, Jameel @ The Muqata said...: Ilan: yes, I think its a mistake and maariv meant civilian and IDF numbers together. (and that still looks high)

You should know by now not to trust the Israeli MSM ;-)
At 4:43 PM, July 19, 2006, Ilan said...: Jameel @ The Muqata - Yeah. I've checked the numbers again and updated it.
It seems that the number of killed soldiers will grow - There is unofficial information about at least two soldiers killed in Avivim.

When it's going to end?
At 3:11 AM, July 20, 2006, Luka said...: Ilan: I'm following the BBC reports ... and checking up some other sources slowly.

apparently there have been 60 casualties in Lebanon and 6 in Israel today.

The numbers are probably off - how ever many there are, tho, is too many.
