1. That the attack was not on United States soil, because Hawaii was just a territory back then.2. That it was a military attack on military targets.3.

You have it backwards. The Naval air arm of the Imperial Japenese Navy attacked the U.S. military in the Hawaii Islands (An American Territory). This attack was followed by attacks on Wake Island, Guam, and the Philippine Islands.
In World War II there was Pearl Harbor. There was also Lee's assault during the Civil war if that counts. I cant really think about any other occasions.
