Magen Dan (Hebrew: מגן דן, lit. Dan Shield) is a village and an Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located around 750 metres west of Elkana, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council. Established in May 1999, it is today home to around 20 families.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[1]
