Israeli retaliation at the death of eight soldiers ultimately caused the deaths of up to 2,000 Lebanese citizens (this number is highly contested: many deaths appear to have been accidental recounts of the bodies, or the casualties of misfired Hezbollah rockets), the wounding of over 4,000, and the displacement of 200,000.  Israeli civilian losses were at 43 and military casualties at 120 dead.  Hezbollah dead are estimated at several hundred.
