I think it's good that the interception worked so well at preventing civilian death and Iran launched its attack knowing this would be the case, but let's be real about the law: Iran had a legal right to defend itself after Israel commited an act of war by directly attacking its diplomatic mission in Syria. The Israeli regime has no such right against rebellious factions within its illegally occupied territories. Quite the opposite, as the Palestinians have the right to resist their foreign occupation under international law, even through armed resistance.
