I'll certainly shed no tears for this guy's passing.
But I definitely question of the wisdom of this attack.
Its sure as hell going to cost Israel a lot of support and only bolster those opposing Israeli policy.
It'll give a certain amount of legitimacy to whatever response Iran may take.
And it could quite easily have serious geopolitical ramifications.
Neither does Iran...
Legal and war are kind of an oxymoron, depends who's side you are looking at it from.

What would the reaction be if the USA declared a war on Cartels, and proceeded to bomb their homes and drug farms in Mexico?

Let's say this guy was hiding out at the Iranian consulate in DC instead of Syria. Would you approve of Israel launching an attack on it, potentially putting American lives at risk?

I really hope Iran responds to the attack(in the name of "self-defense" ofcourse ).

It's a core part of the Geneva Convention and the whole basis of diplomatic immunity. Comes from my own study of Geneva Convention as my dissertation covered war crimes but was year ago hence the rusty memory.
More recent UN seminars on the area.
UN Consular law
I'd be very suprised if Iran and Arab allies don't seek prosecution via UN and ramp up attacks via proxy given how quiet Hizbullah have been in West Bank.

Just remember, that if Netenyahoo could eliminate all Arabs , it would then be time to attack the Christians
