Israel would probably say he was a legitimate target. They said that they were going to do this months ago, so should not come as a great surprise.

from the article:

The killing of Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut is the first strike in a campaign of assassinations overseas promised by Israeli officials for several months.
The target was carefully chosen – one of the most senior Hamas leaders and the organisation’s main link to Iran and the Lebanon-based militia Hezbollah.

and besides America do it all the time, so why shouldn't Israel.

Iran responded 99% of missiles and drones intercepted with minimal damage and one casualty

Oh, well that's alright then. I tried to kill you and desparately wanted to, but just because my gun mis-fired, hey, no harm , no foul.

Iran states it considers the matter now closed, Israel is now probably going to launch a military action in response. To which the Iranian hard liners will demand a response .

Israel have allowed scope creep here they’re not only going after Hamas but everyone who poses a threat

It's not creep, like in the first article above they told everyone months ago, they are going after targets they deem legitimate for their national security.
