 I'm confused? The pagers were bombs?

 None. This is a fake news item with which Mossad is testing the extent of its influence on the spread of misinformation.

 Nine dead and around 2700 injured at current counts. Good going

Also reports that Iran's ambassador to Lebanon Mojtaba Amani was injured in these explosions. Yet Iran says they are in no way associated with Hezbollah...
