Actually it was an act of war since it was done using the country's military.
Piracy is reserved for unaffiliated parties.
So essentially Israel has committed an act of war against whatever country the boats' are registered under
States doing piracy to each other without war was a staple of the golden age of piracy. It was called privateering.
Right, modern day international law would define that as an act of war.
Clearly not
It clearly is.
Just because a nation commits an act of war against you doesn't mean that you have to declare war and attack. All it means is you have a justifiable cause to retaliate under international law
“Act of war” is not the same as “declaration of war”, in case you were under that impression.
