A map of the junction

The Netzarim Junction is a road intersection in the central part of Palestine's Gaza Strip. It is formed by the intersection of the Netzarim Corridor (running east-west, built by the Israeli army) with Salaheddin Street (running north-south, and one of the Gaza Strip's two main such roads). It was named after the former Israeli settlement of Netzarim.

On November 12, 1994, the Netzarim Junction bicycle bombing occurred. This killed three soldiers, six Israeli servicemen, and six Palestinians. In response, the Palestinian police cracked down and arrested over 100 Islamic militants.

On September 30, 2000, the killing of Muhammad al-Durrah occurred at the junction. However, Richard Landes, writing for Tablet, suggests that the incident was staged.

In August 2024, Israel proposed adding an inspection mechanism to the junction, which the United States rejected.
