This has answers to some of your questions.
"Israeli media says Mossad rigged the pager batteries of a shipment that was imported five months ago:
The Israeli spy agency placed a quantity of PETN, a highly explosive material, on the batteries of the devices, and detonated them by raising the temperature of the batteries from afar, the source says."
So it was basically explosives in the devices themselves + some kind of hack to overheat the battery to actually trigger them. There's videos of the explosions - they aren't huge which explains why there's so many injured and so few killed.
