Arutz Sheva: "BBC Admits Many Lebanese Casualties are Terrorists"

As far as the BBC admission part goes, I read this story and come up a little short. The idea seems to hang on the phrase "difficult to quantify." It would be nice to have a link to whatever BBC story this is talking about. Nevertheless, this raises an important point: the numbers we keep hearing about "civilian casualties" may (probably?) include many terrorists:
The British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) has admitted that many of the victims of Israeli retaliation in Lebanon are terrorists and not innocent civilians. A BBC reporter said he saw Hizbullah terrorists using a private home and added, "It is difficult to quantify who is a terrorist and who is a civilian."

Media reports have emphasized that Israeli air strikes have killed more than 350 Lebanese civilians, prompting accusations that the IDF is carrying out "collective punishment" on the country.
