In international law it is. And ethics, actually.
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.
