Mazen Dana (Arabic: مازن دعنا, 1962-August 17, 2003) was a Palestinian journalist who worked as a Reuters cameraman and was shot and killed by United States soldiers in Baghdad, Iraq on August 17, 2003. The soldiers mistook his camera for a rocket launcher, and were cleared of any wrong doing after a thorough investigation.
Dana worked for Reuters for over ten years, mostly in his home town of Hebron in the West Bank.
In 2001, Dana was the recipient of a CPJ International Press Freedom Award in recognition of his courage and commitment to covering the conflict in his hometown. He was married with four children.
