Gal Gadot was confronted by pro-Palestine protesters once again as she filmed her new movie in London. The activists shouted "Gal Gadot not welcome here" from megaphones on Waterloo Bridge on Sunday morning.

The Israeli-born actress was filming for The Runner when the protesters gathered. They wore keffiyehs over their faces, waved Palestinian flags and dangled a banner reading "Stop Starving Gaza" over the bridge railings. Footage shared by UnBoxPHD on YouTube shows Gadot, 40, chatting to crew members as police officers arrived at the scene.

The Metropolitan Police were able to move the protesters away and no arrests were made. They described the protest as "small" in a statement.

Gadot served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and has supported Israel's invasion of Gaza, as reported by the Daily Mail. Pro-Palestine activists have since targeted her filming in London.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: "Police were called to reports of a small group of protesters on Waterloo Bridge at 8.42am on Sunday, 18 May. Officers arrived swiftly and moved them on. No arrests were made."

It comes after Gadot's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony was hit by protesters on Tuesday. A video showed police running after a member of the public amid claims "a pro-Palestine protester stole a pro-Israel protester's flag."

In The Runner, Gadot plays a high-flying attorney who has to try and save her abducted son. It is being produced by David Kosse and his new London-based production company Rockwood Pictures.

Gadot posted a clip on Instagram of her chatting with Israel's Eurovision entrant Yuval Raphael ahead of her performance on Saturday night. The singer reposted the video and said: "Gal thank you so much!! This call made me so much stronger, you are called Wonder Woman for a reason."

However, a crew member was hit with paint after two pro-Palestine protesters tried to rush on stage to disrupt her performance. It left Raphael "shaken and upset".

A spokesperson for Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR, which organises Eurovision, said: "At the end of the Israeli performance, a man and a woman tried to get over a barrier on to the stage. They were stopped. One of the two agitators threw paint and a crew member was hit.

"The crew member is fine and nobody was injured. The man and the woman were taken out of the venue and handed over to the police."
