Acts of war, or war crimes?

Israel says the seizing of two Israeli soldiers by Hizballah is an "act of war" (on the part of the Lebanese government). I wonder what they consider this to be, then?
Police said 52 Lebanese civilians, including 15 children, were killed in attacks on Hezbollah targets in Beirut's southern suburbs and across southern Lebanon.
Security sources said the air strikes in south Lebanon also wounded 100 people. Ten members of a family were killed in Dweir village and seven family members died in Baflay.
Note that Israel has not declared war. Therefore these acts can be nothing other than war crimes. Not that most of the Israeli attacks wouldn't qualify as war crimes even if they had declared war.

I wonder, if the Israeli army stopped its attacks and let a totally independent Israeli militia to take over (lets say settlers) and fire what ever they want at Lebanon, would you exonorate the Israeli government from all responsibility as you do the government of Lebanon in a similar situation here? or hold them responsible as you should, practicing the same double standards you practice towards Israel here, in that case?
