'the 'environment' is very big on Geagea's agenda ... but Hezbollah stands in the way'
"... Twenty-eight years after the Sabra and Shatila massacres, the president of Lebanon's only golf course is still having to deny the bodies are buried there. Bayan Nuwayhed al Hout, author of "Sabra and Shatila: September 1982," told CNN she's convinced the bodies of victims of the massacres lie beneath the golf course."I'm positive that dozens of people were buried there with the help of bulldozers," she said. "The bulldozers were used to get rid of the dead bodies."Robert Fisk, a journalist who wrote "Pity The Nation" about the 1975-1990 Lebanese civil war, maintains the number buried is even higher."There are perhaps 1,000 murdered Palestinian civilians under the golf course (of course, these hapless souls will have to be added to the tallied 2000 innocent Palestinians & Lebanese slaughtered by Samir Geagea' Audubon-Society-like thugs, and overseen by the master killers of Ariel Sharon!) near Beirut airport, dumped there by Israel's Phalangist allies after the 1982 Sabra and Shatila massacres," Fisk wrote in the British newspaper The Independent."No one will dig them up. Golfers play without reflecting upon what lies beneath the verdant 18th hole."

Actually, the article suggested that the bodies under the golf course could confirm the higher estimates for the death toll -- not raise it -- since apparently only 800 bodies were originally recovered after the massacre. So this could address that discrepancy.
If that number (~800) is wrong, then your highlighted section could be accurate but it is not what the article is saying.
