When was the last eruption of "mountain of the druze" (1802 m) in southern syria. how young is the youngest lava flow in that area .all I could find about is that the lava flow used to be a place for outlaws and it is uncultivated and uninhabited and is a Tank barrier...

Dear Ronen,

Sorry for the delay in answering your question.

Volcanoes of the World does not show any volcano younger than 10,000 in southern Syria, suggesting the mountain you are interested in has not erupted since that time. If you can give me a specific name for the volcano I can search other sources.
