The study of volcanic dykes geometry in the southern Syrian coastal range shows that some of them are related to a tensional tectonic event, Albian dykes, and others are related to a strike-slip stress field like Pliocene dykes. Orientation of dykes
is average between E-W to N-S with maximal direction of N 130- N 145. Drawing of strike-slip stress field depending upon dykes orientation shows important deviation in σ1 strike from NW-SE to E-W in the vicinity of Levant fault during Pliocene time (4.4-5.4My)
