Yes, I know this is way out of the scope of the group, but people read about it
and I think I might enlighten a bit about this "info".

This info (and I especially remember the above story about the nurse) was
reported also in Israeli newspapers as legends which circulated among the
palestinians to raise their moral.

Just to give you another example about the reliability of this info, one
of the most succesfull legends was that Israel have transfered hundreds
of palesitinians from the Ansar-3 (Ktziot) prisoners camp to the area of
the reactor near Dimona, though they couldn't explain why this action
wasn't advartised, reducing its effect to zero.....

And about the casualties, there is a picture in the previews TIME issue
(March 4th) showing a wounded american soldier in a copter, crying after
learnning that the bag near him contains one of his crew members.
