For collateral, I was thinking more along the lines of non-Hezbollah civilians right next to the target, or perhaps a building set on fire

At the same time, I don't think there's any reason to disbelieve accounts (and video footage) of children among the injured. Unless you're sending operatives with pistols and killing targets individually, I don't think there's a way to do a strike of this scale without killing innocents.
So 1-2 feet away is safe from serious injury resulting from the explosive force itself. Though the probability seems high at least some out of thousands had people standing close enough for worse, or further away and hit with shrapnel.
I’m just commenting on injury though, not making a moral or ethical judgement. That’s not an easy call when an opponent is embedded in a population of non-combatants.
Here's a video of someone standing right next to the target: https://x.com/DrEliDavid/status/1836037485492629605
They are unharmed.
