An unidentified drone attacked on Sunday an Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) vehicle while it was leaving a pre-fabricated building on the outskirts of al-Mayadeen city, in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, sources told the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
The attack resulted in the destruction of the vehicle and the death of two IRGC members who were on board.
On Friday, the SOHR documented human and material losses due to new Israeli strikes on Syrian territory.
Israeli missiles flying over Lebanese territory destroyed Iranian militias-affiliated warehouses and manufacturing centers for short and medium-range missiles in the scientific research area (the Defense Factories), which is part of al-Zawiya in Masyaf countryside.
Centers and sites were targeted in al-Talay camp in Sheikh Ghadban area in Masyaf countryside as well.
The strikes left six non-Syrian people dead. It is not yet known whether they were IRGC members or pro-Iranian militiamen.
The death toll is expected to rise as some of the injured are in serious condition, amid reports of further casualties.
Masyaf area hosts a center for developing medium-range missiles in al-Zawi village and al-Talay camp.
