Syrian Observatory Human Rights activists have documented new Israeli bombardment on military positions belonging to Iranian-backed militias near Damascus in the early hours of Thursday morning, the groups website reported.

Israeli strikes destroyed a weapons and ammunition warehouse believed to be used by militias affiliated to the Lebanese Hezbollah (Irans proxy) in a military post near Al-Demas area, the report said.

The Israeli attack also left at least three militiamen dead, but it remained unknown if they were Lebanese or foreigners affiliated to Iranian-backed militias.

The death toll is expected to rise further as the attack left several militiamen injured, some seriously. There are unconfirmed reports of more casualties, it added.
