Lebanon Death Toll

Not to make light of either situation, but I just wanted to provide some comparisons.

Average temperature in Beruit, Lebanon for the last two weeks = 79oF.
Population of Lebanon = 3.9 million
Area = 10,400 km2 (~4015 mi2)
Density of population = 971 people per mi2
Death toll from war in last two weeks = 439

Average temperature in Los Angeles, California for the last two weeks = 75oF.
Population of California = 33.9 million
Area = 163, 707 mi2
Density of population = 207 people per mi2
Death toll from heat wave in last two weeks = 141

Now if Israel was really trying to target civilians in Lebanon given that 3.9 million people are packed into 4015 mi2 (over four times as densely populated as California) don't you think they could do better than 439 people killed with all their precision guided munitions given that the average weather temperatures has been rather the same and while I don't have data for it, I bet Lebanonese don't have as many air conditioners per capita as Californians.

Things that make you go, Hmmmm.
