Gal Gadot’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, California, has been defaced with antisemitic graffiti the same week that London’s Metropolitan Police arrested five anti-Israel protesters trying to disrupt the filming of her new movie in central London.

Metropolitan Police said five people were arrested at a location in Westminster on Wednesday for targeting Gadot’s film set “solely because an actress involved in the production is Israeli.” Protesters have disrupted the filming of Gadot’s latest project in various locations across London in recent weeks, police added. The Israeli actress and mother of four is believed to currently be filming action thriller “The Runner.”

“The five people were arrested for harassment and offenses under Section 241 of the Trade Union and Labors Relations Act, which deals with wrongfully and unlawfully obstructing access to a workplace,” authorities said on Wednesday. Two of the arrests were related to incidents at previous protests while three arrests were connected to disruptions that took place on Wednesday. The arrested individuals remain in custody.

“While we absolutely acknowledge the importance of peaceful protest, we have a duty to intervene where it crosses the line into serious disruption or criminality,” said Superintendent Neil Holyoak. “We have been in discussions with the production company to understand the impact of the protests on their work and on any individuals involved. I hope today’s operation shows we will not tolerate the harassment of or unlawful interference with those trying to go about their legitimate professional work in London.”

The 40-year-old actress has expressed support for Israel amid the country’s ongoing war against Hamas terrorists who orchestrated the deadly attacks across southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The native of Petah Tikva, in central Israel, has also called for the release of the hostages abducted by the US-designated terrorist organization during the Oct. 7 onslaught.

At a film set last week in London, Gadot, 40, was escorted away from the location as anti-Israel protesters waved flags and yelled “Stop bombing Palestine,” according to the Daily Mail.

Gadot stars in “The Runner” as a high-powered attorney who runs around London, following cryptic order of a mystery caller, while trying to save her abducted son, according to IMDb. The film, from Amazon MGM Studios, is directed by Kevin Macdonald with a script by Mark Gibson.

Anti-Israel protesters also tried to disrupt Gadot’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in March, when she became the first Israeli to be given a coveted star administered by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. Photos shared this week on social media showed that Gadot’s star was vandalized with “Baby Killer” written in black ink. Vandals also crossed out Gadot’s last name and replaced it with “Greestien” – a reference to her father’s former surname Greenstein – and attached a sticker that falsely claimed Israeli snipers “target children.” The graffiti was removed last night by two Israelis, according to a post shared on X.

During an interview for the March 2025 issue of Spanish Harper’s Bazaar, Gadot said she longs for the Israel-Hamas war to end with a “diplomatic agreement that allows all parts of the table to live a good and prosperous life.”
