From the article:
*Israel should extend its border with Lebanon up to the Litani River deep inside the country's south, Israel's finance minister said on Monday as Israeli troops bombed bridges and destroyed homes in the area in an escalating military assault.
The comments by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich were the most explicit yet by a senior Israeli official on seizing Lebanese territory in a fight Israel says targets Iran-backed Hezbollah militants*
Not a primary source, but good enough. I don't know the finance minister of Israel but this is somewhat worrying. I guess the translation may have been bad/inaccurate as they may have meant seizing control (without seizing the legal title) which would not constitute annexation.
Controlling territory while in an ("illegal") war is fundamentally different to an annexation.
Your mental gymnastics is next level
Zionists have wanted to occupy south Lebanon up to the Litani for decades. The only reason they didn't in 1948 is because they were preoccupied with the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
This is a proposal from 1916
Now with the settler takeover of Israeli politics this is becoming a reality.
There is also the Greater Israel Project, based on scripture which Zionists and evangelist fanatics like US ambassador Mick Huckabee are enthusiastic about.

The Israelis aren't even changing their MO and you think there is some translation.
