They will certainly not declare war, but conduct a covert operation.

(And I hope their special forces get killed and the ship they launched from is sunk.)

Covert operation could happen but would be extremely difficult to execute in practice:

The Hague is where the government of The Netherlands is located. The HQ of the Dutch Military Intelligence Services is at walking distance of the ICC at a military barracks called the Frederikskazerne. And the ICC itselves is located in the International Zone, one of the most heavily guarded and surveilled locations of the Netherlands.

I wonder if that would trigger NATO's article 5 again. Just like when Afghanistan attacked the United St... wait, they didn't.
