1. I would say pretty obviously yes.
They also engage in non-military activities, and in legitimate military resistance as well. However, they have on numerous times targeted civilians. If you purposefully target civilians in hopes of forcing a political change, you are a terrorist. That is the definition of terrorism.

It was terrorism on 9/11.
It was terrorism when we "shocked and awed" the Iraqi populace.
It was terrorism when the Golden Mosque was destroyed by Sunni bombers.
It was terrorism when the IDF bulldozed refugee camps.
It was terrorism when Hezbollah fired rockets at civilian population centers.
