Note that the wording does not separate as a group "quasi-lawfuls" from house ships as far as the second condition applies, "considered hostile by the BHG Core within their Zone of Influence" applies to quasi-lawfuls as well as I read it, ESPECIALLY with this line:
You can understand that line as three separate groups they may attack without breaking server rules: All unlawfuls and all quasi lawfuls (including Zoners and Freelancers) and all members of groups considered hostile to the Core, within their Zone of Influence.

If they have the right to attack any quasi-lawful at will, then there is no need for quasi-lawful in that line.
That is not true, because there is a crucial difference between those lines. One allows them to engage ships at will within their Zone of Influence, and the other allows them to defend ships or bases anywhere.

The attacker does not have to justify their attack rule-wise, he can say whatever he wants in roleplay, the point is that his ID allows him to engage Zoners. Whether he should do that is another question, but I have absolutely no idea about the situation between the Core and the Zoners, so that would have to be answered by someone else.
