Comments by "TheEvertw" (@TheEvertw) on "Russia Fears Iran will be Destroyed After Attacking Israel" video.
About the killing of these Iranian generals, that was NOT in the embassy itself, but in a consulate that happened to be next door. Attacking the embassy itself would have been an outright declaration of war, a consulate does not have such status.

US citizens thinking The Netherlands gave a small gift to Ukraine, remember that the Netherlands has a population of only 17 million. So this is like the state of Pennsylvania or the state of Illinois giving Ukraine 20 F16s and 3 billion dollars in 2024 (that 1.1B€ + 0.4B€ is on top of 2B€ already allocated for 2024). Shame on you, USA. You must do better.

@JensPeterLiljegren bs yourself. The two buildings are not part of a compound. Just two separate buildings standing by a public road. There is gating around the embassy, but that does not include the consulate.

@JensPeterLiljegren Terminology is important, my friend. A diplomatic mission includes both embassies and consulates. The Embassy is legally considered a piece of Iranian (in this case) land, and an attack on it is an act of war. A consulate does not have that special status. So, IF Israel did this attack, they attacked a piece of Syrian ground where a number of terrorists were meeting with some officials from the Iranian army. Not with diplomats (diplomats also have special protection). Just like Israel has done dozens of times already (except that the generals were Iranian).

@JensPeterLiljegren I checked, the special protection afforded a diplomatic mission only applies to the receiving state of the mission. So, the Geneva Convention prevents Syria from attacking the embassy, but it does NOT forbid Israel from attacking an embassy in another nation. It is Syria's job to protect the mission, not Israel's. You were right about a consulate being part of the mission, but wrong about it being illegal for Israel to attack the mission in Syria. There is no mention of the diplomatic mission in the Geneva convention about conduct during times of war. An embassy does NOT have the same protection e.g. a hospital has. Which is why at the outbreak of war, diplomats usually leave a country. And even a hospital loses its protection as soon as it is used by enemy combatants. There were enemy combatants present in the consulate, which made it a valid military target from Israel's point of view.
