It's not just hezzbollah using pagers, emergency services use it too, even in Europe, because it's cheap and more reliable, especially in emergency situations since cell networks would be overloaded
Lebanon is a population mix of insanely wealthy and poverty stricken, and those in poverty use pagers for work too
Hence the wide range in population from the injured and deceased (edlery, children, etc)
The injuries look like lithium battery pack explosions that china had a crisis of years ago, but pagers have even smaller batteries than power banks, so I imagine Israel got into the manufacturing supply rather than using malware to explode the pagers
