not necessarily! the laws of armed conflict apply to any sufficiently organized violence of one party against the civilian population of the other party
basically it's BOTH regular ass murder they're doing AND war crimes, they're not mutually exclusive categories

by any measure it's an armed conflict, so the laws of armed conflict therefore apply
for political reasons, people aren't discussing it in these terms, but for purposes of LOAC, any large scale organized conflict is "war"
the laws of war do not require a formal initiation of war; they "activate" once an armed conflict meets the extent and organization of violence to qualify as, well, an armed conflict
i mean it would be super weird if someone needs to literally declare a war for the rules to apply, right?
