From the (rather brilliant) As’ad Abu Khalil, former professor of Georgetown University:

So if you follow Israeli propaganda, you get this picture. Of all the Israeli military casualties in Lebanon thus far, 70% are from “friendly fire”; 10% are due to cooking accidents; 10% due to traffic accidents; 3% to peanut allergies; 1% due to snake bites; and the rest are due to poisonous mushrooms eaten in Marun Ar-Ras. OK.

When a military is remarkably stronger than the enemy country’s (unofficial) militants, the prime cause for death is accidents, and not the other side’s use of force. We see this with American soldiers in Iraq. A huge percentage of them have died due to vehicle accidents (often because of drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs) and not just Iraqi insurgency.
