How did they make sure that only pagers carried by the armed wing of Hezbollah exploded, and not say an MP, nor one of their media workers, nor a manager in one of their hospitals? How did they know that no civilians were dangerously close when they exploded?

They didn’t. They put explosions in all the pagers which were distributed to all members of Hezbollah, military or not, and indiscriminately exploded them all at the same time, regardless of who was near the pager at the time.
