Out of the 16 casualties, 2 were civilian. Seems like it was targeting military personnel.
A consulate is not a military installation by design. It is a diplomatic building, and considered sovereign ground of the represented nation state. Israel quite literally attacked Iran’s territory first.
It should also be noted that while it’s widely known Israel carried out the attack, they have not confirmed or denied it.
