Original Note:
Technically, Israel bombed a consulate and not an embassy. Nonetheless, it is considered Iranian territory and (whatever you think of their policies) two senior generals were killed in the strike. It is not unusual for a country to retaliate in such circumstances. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/04/01/middleeast/syria-iranian-consulate-attack-middle-east-intl https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/01/israeli-airstrike-on-iranian-consulate-in-damascus-kills-irgc-commander
