To be effective it all had to be at once. It seems that they waited until the pagers were being used to coordinate a fresh wave of rocket attacks with promises of more to come before setting them off.

This was an attack by military on military. They were using the pagers to coordinate the rocket attacks against Israel that they e been launching lately.
