Not really. As far as news coverage goes Israel doesn’t plan annexations as in integrating the regions into their state and claiming them as theirs.

Russia explicitly wants to annex crimea.

Smotrich calls for annexation of southern Lebanon as IDF strikes Lebanese bridges, homes

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.
