Mitzpe Yair (Template:Lang-he, lit. Yair Lookout) is an unauthorized Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located two kilometres south-east of Susia, it falls under the jurisdiction of Har Hebron Regional Council. It was established by Meir Am-Shalem in October 1998 and is home to 8-9 families. It was formerly known as Magen David.
Mitzpe Yair is an unauthorized settlement that is regarded as illegal by the Israeli regional administration. In 2007 Peace Now discovered that a police superintendent was residing there despite its illegal status.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
