Who said the injured are all Hezbollah members? From the above Guardian coverage:
"Among those killed is an eight-year-old girl from Bekka Valley, Abiad said, according to Al Jazeera."
This CCTV footage shows one of the devices exploding in a busy supermarket:

Terrorizing your opponents is one thing, but indiscriminately detonating bombs in public spaces is just plain terrorism.
The busy supermarket saw people standing directly beside the target perplexed and completely unharmed. This was extremely localized.
If the child story is true (which is always in question), presumably they were tragically playing with the pager or the like at precisely that time.
However the footage of the attack is overwhelmingly fighting-age males exclusively. As far as military operations go, that is remarkably targeted.
