The criticism gradually increased toward the end of the war-as it became clearer that the IDF was not managing to win.

Further, the report states that the media unreasonably centered on the question of the loyalties of Arab-Israelis in the North instead of focusing on inadequate provision of services by the state. The report acknowledges that the Israeli media reported on Lebanese suffering, But states that it divorced the suffering from the IDF operations causing it. Finally, with regard to diplomacy, Israeli media buried the stories on negotiations to reflect the derision held by decision-makers toward a diplomatic solution.<a href="#cite_note-Keshev1-315">[313]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Pro-Hezbollah_bias">Pro-Hezbollah bias</h4></div> On 18 July 2006 Hezbollah Press Officer Hussein Nabulsi took CNN's <a href="/wiki/Nic_Robertson" title="Nic Robertson">Nic Robertson</a> on an exclusive tour of southern Beirut. Robertson noted that despite his minder's anxiety about explosions in the area, it was clear that Hezbollah had sophisticated media relations and were in control of the situation. Hezbollah designated the places that they went to, and the journalists "certainly didn't have time to go into the houses or lift up the rubble to see what was underneath." According to his reports, there was no doubt that the bombs were hitting Hezbollah facilities, and while there appeared to be "a lot of civilian damage, a lot of civilian properties," he reiterated that he could not verify the civilian nature of the destroyed buildings.<a href="#cite_note-reliable-316">[314]</a> Several media commentators and journalists have alleged an intentionally distorted coverage of the events, in favour of Hezbollah, by means of <a href="/wiki/Photo_manipulation" class="mw-redirect" title="Photo manipulation">photo manipulation</a>, staging by Hezbollah or by journalists, and false or misleading captioning.<a href="#cite_note-317">[315]</a> For example, <a href="/wiki/CNN" title="CNN">CNN</a>'s Charlie Moore described a Hezbollah press tour of a bombed-out area in southern Beirut on 23 July 2006 as a "dog-and-pony show" due to perceived staging, misrepresentation of the nature of the destroyed areas, and strict directives about when and with whom interviews could take place.<a href="#cite_note-318">[316]</a> In the same interview CNN's <a href="/wiki/John_Roberts_(television_reporter)" class="mw-redirect" title="John Roberts (television reporter)">John Roberts</a>, reporting from an Israeli artillery battery on the Lebanese border, stated that he had to take everything he was told—either by the IDF or Hezbollah—"with a grain of salt," citing mutual recriminations of civilian targeting which he was unable to verify independently.<a href="#cite_note-reliable-316">[314]</a> As another example, <a href="/wiki/Reuters" title="Reuters">Reuters</a> withdrew over 900 photographs by <a href="/wiki/Adnan_Hajj_photographs_controversy" class="mw-redirect" title="Adnan Hajj photographs controversy">Adnan Hajj</a>, a Lebanese freelance photographer, after he admitted to digitally adding and darkening smoke spirals in photographs of an attack on Beirut.<a href="#cite_note-319">[317]</a> Photographs submitted to Reuters and <a href="/wiki/Associated_Press" title="Associated Press">Associated Press</a> showed one Lebanese woman mourning on two different pictures taken by two photographers, allegedly taken two weeks apart.<a href="#cite_note-320">[318]</a> It is "common practice to send more than one photographer to an incident".<a href="#cite_note-321">[319]</a> Social and online media were important for providing alternate means of creating and disseminating accounts and political commentary.

(According to different estimates, between 300 and 700 Hezbollah fighters were killed and about 1,000 wounded. The difference between Israeli and Lebanese sources concerning the number of casualties is mainly due to the Lebanese distinction between "civilian" Hezbollah operatives and "military" operatives, with only the latter being included in the death toll of the fighters.) </li> <li id="cite_note-231"><a href="#cite_ref-231">^</a> Cordesman (2007), p.16 </li> <li id="cite_note-232"><a href="#cite_ref-232">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFJad_Mouawad_and_Steven_Erlanger2006" class="citation news cs1">Jad Mouawad and Steven Erlanger (20 July 2006). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/20/world/africa/20iht-web.0720mideastfront.2247686.html">"Death toll rises in Mideast fight; bunker bombed"</a>.
