Magen Dan (Hebrew: מגן דן, lit.

Dan Shield) is an Israeli outpost in the West Bank.

[1] It is located around 750 metres west of Elkana and – consistent with its name – at the eastern edge of the territory of the biblical tribe of Dan.

Established in May 1999, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council.

[2] According to ARIJ, Magen Dan was established after Israeli settlers "forcefully seized" 76 dunams (0.076 km2; 0.029 sq mi) of land from the nearby Palestinian village of Zawiya.
