I don't think Lebanon was so much about the casualties as it was the fact that Israel had to walk on eggshells during this most recent conflict in Lebanon due to Hezbollah being so entrenched in civilian villages and using them as a human blockade/shield. Israel could've easily leveled most of Lebanon had it chosen to not be sensitive to civilian casualties...
