Under the shade of blown out buildings, Syrian rebels take cover and fire back at government forces outside Damascus.

The fire-fight appears in new amateur video posted on a social media website.

The video also appeared to show the body of a government soldier.

A rebel holds a banner reading: "The Victor God's Lion Brigade."

Other video, which Reuters cannot independently verify, shows smoke rising from a another suburb of Damascus.

At the scene, more victims in the country's three-year-old conflict.

What started as a popular revolt against President Bashar al-Assad, has morphed into an all-out war.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights recently increased the estimated death toll to more than 150,000.
