Israel Tourism minister says 400 Hizbollah fighters killed
Israeli Tourism Minister Yitzhak Herzog said on Tuesday as many as 400 Hizbollah fighters have been killed in three weeks of fighting in Lebanon.
He was speaking minutes after another minister said 300 Hizbollah guerrillas had been killed. A spokesman for the Shi'ite group had said 43 fighters had died in the conflict.
"Four hundred of its dead have been counted by us, 400 terrorists killed by the Israeli army," Herzog told Reuters television in an interview.
