Around 350 Lebanese civilians have been killed in the last few days (less than 10 of them were confirmed to be militants) as a response to two Israeli soldiers being kidnapped. The entire infrastructure of Lebanon has been destroyed and 500,000 people are homeless. Israeli troops are set to cross the border for a full-scale ground invasion that will last several weeks.
