Earlier today, Israel has killed Iranian top general Mohammad Reza Zahedi in an air strike on the Iranian embassy in the Syrian capital of Damascus.

Israeli fighter jets fired 6 missiles from the Golan Heights which struck the building in Damascus killing several Iranian military officials.

I certainly won't mourn a minion of the dictatorial Iranian mollahs, but a state bombing an embassy certainly doesn't abide by international laws, as far as I think.
Not that Israel has had a habit of respecting these over the past 10 years.
If I understood well, the building wasn't exactly the embassy per se, but "an annex of the embassy", whatever it means. The question regarding the level of escalation is therefore: does such an annex have the same legal status as an embassy itself?

@randahl doesn’t commit to international law, diplomatic status or any border. They finds themselves (always) not accountable. In fact israel is a pirate state.

    @PattyHanson World War I started with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, so this should certainly not be taken lightly.

    He's trying to start a war, isn't he?

    @hannahshouse2 I agree, this could be Netanyahu wagging the dog. But I am waiting for the US response, before I rule out that this attack happened in coordination with the US.

    (No offense)

    I'm never right. And i'm hoping I'm wrong this time, but seems like he's trying to start a war.
