Mount Bental, Dormant volcano in Golan Heights, Israel.
Mount Bental rises 1,171 meters above sea level, featuring a scoria volcanic cone formation and natural trails through Quercus calliprinos trees.
The mountain contains military fortifications and bunkers from conflicts between Israel and Syria, particularly significant during the 1967 Six-Day War.
The mountain's Hebrew name translates to 'Son of Dew', connecting it symbolically to its neighboring peak Mount Avital, meaning 'Father of Dew'.
Visitors reach the summit by car or hiking trails, where a restaurant and observation points provide views across Israel and Syria.
The mountain formed when volcanic pressure caused magma to erupt from Mount Avital's western side, creating this separate geological formation.
