That’s a great question! It will be like 5 seconds before this new nation attacks Israel and starts a war to exterminate Jews. The UN will probably will say it was ok, because it’s corrupt, and declare against Israel. The will embargo against Israel, prevent it from getting weapons or doing trade. Those nations that have backed the problem since 1948, will then openly be at war with Israel again. The newest ‘Obama-Biden’ foreign policy is just a promise of another regional, and probable international conflict. The US will be drawn in, as well as China and Russia.

Honestly, this sounds like something that only an idiot would propose. The United States gets absolutely nothing but another world war. Stupid.

A serious answer is NO.

The acting party cannot force the injured party to determine that said party is in a state of war. The state of war legally occurs when the injured party commits some official act that recognizes the injuring act as an act of war. The firing of the missile would constitute an Act of War, but only Israel could declare that Israel was in a State of War.

An example would be the American Civil War, better described as the War between the States. For various legal reasons, particularly for insurance purposes, the U.S. Supreme Court determined the precise start and end dates of the war. The start did not occur at Fort Sumter, but upon Lincoln's subsequent proclamation of a blockade, which was an international act, and which served as a declaration of war, resulting in various countries responding with declarations of neutrality.

The case is The Protector, 79 U.S. 700 (1870).

https://www.loc.gov/item/usrep079700/

The question, in the present case is, when did the rebellion begin and end? In other words, what space of time must be considered as excepted from the operation of the statute of limitations by the war of the rebellion?

[...]

It is necessary, therefore, to refer to some public act of the political departments of the government to fix the dates, and, for obvious reasons, those of the executive department which may be and in fact was, at the commencement of hostilities, obliged to act during the recess of Congress, must be taken.

The proclamation of intended blockade by the President may therefore be assumed as marking the first of these dates, and the proclamation that the war had closed as marking the second. But the war did not begin or close at the same time in all the states. There were two proclamations of intended blockade: the first of the 19th of April, 1861, embracing the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas; the second of the 27th of April, 1861, embracing the States of Virginia and North Carolina; and there were two proclamations declaring that the war had closed, one issued on the 2d of April, 1866, embracing the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, and Arkansas, and the other issued on the 20th of August, 1866, embracing the State of Texas.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Well, that’s exactly what Russia did against Ukraine.
Ukraine being a sovereign country was suddenly attacked, bombed and invaded by Russian forces. There was no war declaration.
And the day preceding the attack, Russia demonized the West because it dared to insinuate that Russia might be attacking at anytime... Pure “Western paranoia” was Moscow’s response... Well, they attacked the day after! Thus, the West wasn’t suffering from paranoia after all...

To answer your question, Russia’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine was evidently considered as a defacto act of war.

Japan’s unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor (without war declaration) was also a de facto act of war.

If a Palestinian country attacks Israel with missiles, it’s an act of war.
