Honestly, the fact that Iran sent missiles to Israel during the war is pretty wild. From what I understand, this attack happened after Israel hit some key nuclear sites in Iran a few days ago. So, it's kind of like Iran was firing back in retaliation, trying to show they won't just sit and take it.
But when it comes to international law, stuff gets messy. Technically countries are allowed to defend themselves if they're attacked. At the same time, firing missiles that land on places like hospitals and stock exchanges sounds like overkill, and those are supposed to be protected sites under the Geneva Conventions.
I've seen online debates where people argue about who started it or who has the right to defend themselves, but I've noticed more experts asking if there should be new rules because technology has changed the way wars work. Like, Israel has all these missile interceptors, but even they can run out, and innocent people can get hurt. It makes you wonder if world leaders will finally agree to update the rules on how countries can fight back without trashing whole cities—though I don’t think politicians will ever totally agree. It’s just so complicated, and I feel bad for the people stuck in the middle.
