Two anti-Israel protesters appeared Thursday near a filming location in London where scenes for "The Runner," starring Gal Gadot, were being shot. The protesters, who expected to see Gadot herself, found themselves demonstrating in front of her stunt double, who was present at the site.

The demonstration, which was posted on Instagram and supported by Palestinian groups, took place near a water canal in Camden, the location where scenes for the film were being shot. The film, directed by Kevin McDonald, is an American thriller in which Gadot plays a successful lawyer in London who must flee through the city streets to save her kidnapped son. British actor Damian Lewis stars alongside her in the film.
The protest was organized after rumors circulated about Gadot's expected arrival at the filming location. A group called "Youth Demand" called on protesters to come to the site, but in the end, they found themselves demonstrating only in front of her stunt double.
