@MugsysRapSheet @sheislaurence The grammar could have easily been "400 lebanese and 2 Israel soliders killed" or "400 lebanese and 2 Israel soliders dead." Both are simplier grammically and more accurate, as all the deaths had already happened, and should be presented in the same tense.

It would also point out who was mostly killed, which this headline leaves ambigious with "400 dead in lebanon" instead of listing who died, except for the 2 "important" Israel soliders.

The fact that they mixed passive and active was an intentional choice to minimize some deaths and highlight others.
