These attacks are deemed legal under international law and are justified as 'legitimate defense.' Now, another question arises: Is Israel's assault on the consulate of the Islamic Republic in Damascus, which holds diplomatic immunity according to the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, legal? The principle of immunity shields such establishments from aggression and military strikes, but this protection extends only to activities conducted under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. If these premises are used as a guise for military actions against a third country, such as Israel, they may forfeit their immunity.
