A large brawl broke out outside of a Los Angeles screening, which had been pushed by actress Gal Gadot, of a film showcasing Hamas atrocities.
The film showed 47 minutes of Hamas's Oct. 7 surprise attack against Israel, with the footage provided by the Israel Defense Forces. Pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside the Museum of Tolerance, where the film was being screened, with signs deriding it as a"pro-genocide film." Video shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, by ABC 7 News showed a massive brawl between protesters and counterprotesters breaking out sometime during the screening.
