While when same halogens form X2(like cl2) molecules and they form covalent bonds which are stronger than interhalogen compound and weak bond obviously is more reactive than the stronger bond and that's why ICI is more reactive than cl2

Inter halogen bonds are weaker(it is between two different halogens like ICI) because of its partly ionic character due to difference in electronegativities.
