Israel is bombing Lebanon. How many of the 254 dead yesterday were civilians? And of the 1700 dead to date?

Edit: I notice now that you didn't fail to understand this distinction in the very next sentence, but that wasn't about Israel...

We know Hezbollah continues to operate in Lebanon, that the Lebanese state has disavowed it, and that Hezbollah doesn’t seem to represent broader Lebanese but instead Iranian interests. So until we see hard data that Israel is doing a Gaza campaign across Lebanon, I’m inclined to give benefit of doubt to stated objectives.
