The Israel Defense Forces on Sunday struck and eliminated Ali Dawoud Amich, who served as a head of division in Hezbollah’s engineering department, the military said.

The terrorist was involved in attempts to rehabilitate the Iranian terror proxy’s infrastructure in the Al-Dweir area in southern Lebanon and advanced attacks against Israeli troops, according to the IDF.

“The terrorist’s actions constituted a violation of the ceasefire understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the statement said, adding, “the IDF will continue to operate to remove any threat against the State of Israel.”



Earlier Sunday, the IDF targeted and killed a Hezbollah terrorist in the al-Dweir area of southern Lebanon’s Nabatieh District and also struck Hezbollah engineering vehicles in the Mazra’at Aboudiyeh area of the same region.

On Saturday, the Israeli military killed a Hezbollah terrorist who was engaged in efforts to rebuild military infrastructure in the Markaba area in southeastern Lebanon.

Hezbollah began attacking Israel on Oct. 8, 2023, a day after the Hamas-led terrorist assault, opening a second front along the country’s northern border. The attacks continued until a truce took effect on Nov. 27, 2024.

Under the terms of the ceasefire, Hezbollah was required to disarm, beginning in areas adjacent to the Israeli border, with the Lebanese Armed Forces tasked with establishing a monopoly over weapons in the country.

The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office in a Jan. 8 statement said that while Beirut’s efforts were “an encouraging beginning,” they were “far from sufficient” given Hezbollah’s ongoing Iran-aided rearmament efforts.

“The ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States between Israel and Lebanon states clearly that Hezbollah must be fully disarmed. This is imperative for Israel’s security and Lebanon’s future,” said Jerusalem.
