There is no "compelling law" to give a yes or no answer.
"The concept of what constitutes an "imminent" armed attack will develop to meet new circumstances and new threats."

'International law means different thing to different people, it can be vaguely understood as a body of rules and regulations governing the activities and relationships between states.'
That may be the most honest definition of "International Law" [aka 'the Rules Based Order']

I believe that Mr Corbyn is a disgrace for many reasons - but this situation is actually not one of them in my view.
As the Leader Of The Opposition, it is his function to question the government's position on a variety of issues, and to question the validity of actions which impact this country, and from this clip, that is what he is doing.
To assume that by doing so, he is saying that the killing is morally or legally wrong, or that he disagrees, or indeed agrees with it, it just that - an assumption, and an incorrect one.
Mr Corbyn is rightly castigated for the times when his terrorist sympathies are to the fore, but that was not the case here, as I see it.
