Measurement will start from the Sept. 17th pager attacks and include any subsequent casualties between Israel and Hezbollah/Lebanon. Both Israeli and Lebanese/Hezbollah deaths will count, both combatant and civilian deaths will count.
Measurement for these questions can be hard, but I will follow expert consensus as reflected by mainstream journalism, reports from international institutions, etc.
1,000
3.00It would be very useful if people can link casualty estimates from credible mainstream sources here, if and when you encounter them.
@JeremiahJohnson Wikipedia currently lists casualties from September forward as "over 800 people" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_2024_Lebanon_strikes
@Pjfkh All the above have direct or indirect causality numbers citing Lebanese officials which are over 1000 in the last two weeks
@jacksonpolack It does include deaths caused by those attacks - I'm counting those as the starting point.
There have been scattered casualties earlier this year, but that moment marks a clear break, an escalation in the nature of the conflict.
