Mitzpe Dani (Hebrew: מצפה דני, lit. Danny Lookout) is an Israeli settlement outpost in the West Bank. Located near Ma'ale Mikhmas, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. It is home to around 25 families.
The outpost was established in 1998 by residents of Ma'ale Mikhmas, and was named after Danny Frei, a settler from Ma'ale Mikhmas who was murdered in a Palestinian attack on his home in 1995.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[1]
