Road junction on the Gaza Strip's main north-south highway, close to the former Israeli settlement of Netzarim. The following incidents took place:

- Muhammad al-Durrah incident
- Netzarim Junction bicycle bombing

After the Israeli disengagement from Gaza, its military base on the junction turned into a dump of cars and trucks, while a Hamas checkpoint was established to regulate traffic from and into Gaza City.
Israel's control over the junction possibly means cutting off the north of the Gaza Strip and Gaza City from the strip's south.
