In international law it is. And ethics, actually.

Annexation in international law, is the forcible acquisition and assertion of legal title over one state's territory by another state, usually following military occupation of the territory. In current international law, it is generally held to be an illegal act.>

Granted, that is from Wikipedia, and I only did a cursory search, but I'd say as a jumping off point it doesn't really support the idea of annexing being OK. And ethically, the concept of 'two wrongs don't make a right' is arguably at play here, just because someone might have wronged you, doesn't give you free reign in terms of retaliation.

OK I were imprecise. annexation is not OK. occupation until they stop shooting rockets from Lebanese territory absolutely is OK.

Israel doesn't get a free pass to bomb, assassinate, and colonize wherever they want. People being oppressed fight back. That's the very nature of existence.
