I have to be skeptical of this, if only because many Muslims/Arabs accused the U.S of the same thing with respect to 9/11.

The MO is entirely consistent. They suspected that the U.S. would do what they would have done in similar circumstances. It is just (in)human nature.
Most likely it was simply a delayed collapse.
But, there is still the issue of Hizbollah launching rockets from a building housing civilian refugees. I am unwilling to believe that Hezbollah did not know that the refugees were sheltering there, and indeed, considering that Hizbollah controlled the area, I have to believe that Hizbollah was directing the sheltering efforts themselves.
The conclusion is there to see: Hizbollah wanted these innocents to die as martyrs.
