No one planted explosives all over the place in this scenario. We have videos of what happened, people standing nearby weren't harmed.

Where were the explosives then? One central place?

In pagers explicitly for receiving messages from a Hezbollah controlled network. About the only thing more direct would be putting more explosives in the rockets, but that would cause significantly more collateral damage.

And where were the pagers when they exploded?
