This shouldn't be looked at as some military master stroke, all it's going to do is give extremists ideas.

To force you enemy onto a pagers and then furnishing them with those pagers wich you’ve put remote controlled bombs in is absolutely incredible. It seems pretty much all the pagers used had the explosives in.

Obviously pagers which did not explode are not making the news.

pretty much every pager hezbollah members had blew up. It was almost total penetration.
It also puts Iran in a bind, which also imports most of its communications equipment.

I raised a query as to why anyone (legitimately) would be using a pager these days.

There's a stat around that the NHS uses 10% of the world's pagers...
I think it's likely there are alternatives as they were trying to phase them out.
The attack seems pretty remarkable. Whether it will have put a sizeable dent on Hezbollah, or just motivated a new generation is yet to be seen. It puts Israel's allies in an uncomfortable position, but I'm not sure there's much new there.
