One Thousand Combatants

According to this Washington Times Story:
Israeli chief of staff Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz said yesterday the offensive has killed 100 Hezbollah guerrillas. A U.S.-designated terror group, Hezbollah has about 1,000 or fewer combatants, and several thousand active supporters or members.

Huh? The IDF had to destroy a country and make three quarters of a million people homeless to deal with a battalion or two of guerillas? Can this be right? If true, the disproportion is staggering.

1,000 soldiers is not even a medium sized Mexican drug gang.
