Guardian has a report about human casualties from Lebanon war since 2 IDF soldier was arrested by Hezbollah, until July 25th.

(Updated -> July 27th) – (Updated:2 August)
Lebanese
Military deaths 66 -> 74
Civilian deaths 377 -> 542
Wounded 1,550+
Military/Civilian death = 14.6% -> 13.7%

Israeli
Military deaths 24 -> 36 Civilian deaths 17 -> 18
Wounded 390+
Military/Civilian death = 141.2% -> 200%

Base on this statistic in comparing military and civilian death, we could take a conclusion that Hezbollah fighter has more precise arsenal, and arguably more regard to civilian human life than Israel army. So, who is the brutal terrorist?

Quote from Israeli PM Ehud Olmert:

“Israeli cities are attacked on a daily basis by our enemies from Lebanon. It’s not emphasised enough.There is one fundamental difference between the state of Israel and Hezbollah, which is a terrorist – brutal terrorist – fundamentalist organisation. The state of Israel exercises its right for self defence, as was accurately described by President Bush.”
