So did Mossad listen to the pagers ? I mean, instead of putting a bomb inside, spying would make more sense to me...

Technically speaking that would be much harder: pagers don’t have microphones, and most don’t transmit - and those that do send very small messages.

You’d have to add significant new capabilities to pull off surveillance, which would increase the risk of detection.
