No. But it's not going to be black or white. For example, in the Walzer thing I quoted, he suggested that destroying power plants is not without some military impact, but that it goes too far -- much as destroying the water system would.
That said, they do seem to be engaged in some conduct that seems tailored less to combat Hezbollah and more to punish Lebanon. E.g., destroying the airport's fuel facilities, and preventing relief convoys from reaching the country. Though it's hard to tell from the press reports.
