PICTURED: Gal Gadot is seen for the first time since her screening of Hamas terror attack film ended in mass brawls between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian protestors in LA
Gal Gadot was seen for the first time since her screening of footage of the Hamas terror attack on October 7 ended in mass brawls outside the Los Angeles Museum of Tolerance on Wednesday.
The actress, 38, was seen running errands in LA with her young daughters on Thursday, hours after pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian protestors clashed outside the museum.
The star wore a black hoodie paired with matching sweatpants for her outing, completing her look with shades.
She wore her hair down and went make-up free for the outing.
The outing comes after videos showed fights between protestors in LA amid the screening.

Multiple videos showed fights between protesters outside the Los Angeles Museum of Tolerance, where actress Gal Gadot organized a screening of footage of the brutal Hamas terror attack atrocities committed during the October 7 invasion of Israel
The 47-minute footage, provided by the Israeli Defence forces, was aired to a select audience of celebrities and influential personalities in Los Angeles and New York on Wednesday night.
About 200 people attended the screening, though Gadot was not in attendance, nor were any major Hollywood stars, according to the LA Times. That may have been due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, which only concluded yesterday.
People bearing Israeli flags fighting with pro-Palestinian protestors in the middle of the street can be seen in videos shared on social media, with people punching and kicking one another.
Police had been dispatched to the area outside the museum for security purposes well ahead of the skirmishes and ended up having to pepper spray several people.
It is not clear whether anyone was taken into custody over the fighting, ABC7 reported. A spokesperson for the LAPD told DailyMail.com that no arrests were confirmed as of late Wednesday night.
The Museum of Tolerance, opened in 1993, is meant to examine the history of prejudice around the world with a strong focus on the Holocaust.
Oscar-winning director Guy Nattiv, who spearheaded the initiative, confirmed to i24 that Gadot and her husband, Yaron Varsano, ‘helped make this possible.’
The video serves as a damning record of the atrocities perpetrated by Hamas terrorists against Israeli communities on the Gaza border on October 7, which saw the killing of 1,400 people and kidnapping of 240 hostages.
The plan was to host a single screening for 120 viewers, with potential additional screenings based on its reception, the outlet reported.
The video content is said to be deeply disturbing and has already been watched by numerous foreign journalists and Israeli Knesset members.

The footage aired under the title ‘Bearing Witness to the October 7th Massacre’ in Los Angeles and New York, according to The Wrap.
According to reports, the footage, which was mostly filmed by Hamas terrorists, includes murder, mass rapes and beheadings of Jewish people as well as the massacre at the Nova music festival.
Some Knesset members were so overwhelmed by the video’s content that they left the screening mid-view.
The American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League helped to organize the screenings.
Nattiv shared a redacted image of the invitation on social media Sunday, captioning the post ‘Because the world needs to know. #neveragainisnow’.
Gadot has not publicly commented on the screening.
But the actress has been particularly vocal on the Middle-Eastern war in recent weeks.

Two days after the initial attacks, she demanded the world not ‘sit on the fence’.
Gadot served in the Israeli Defense Forces as a combat trainer over a decade ago, leading some to wonder if she would could be called to fight.
Shortly after the initial attack, the former Miss Israel 2004 was one of the first Hollywood names to support Israel, writing: ‘I stand with Israel you should too. The world cannot sit on the fence when these horrific acts of terror are happening!’
The star also asked her followers to donate funds for those affected by the attacks.
The barbaric October 7 attacks saw Hamas fire a barrage of rockets from Gaza and send fighters across the border, killing 1,400 people and taking about 240 hostages.
More than 270 bodies, mostly young people, were strewn across the site of a music festival in a Negev desert kibbutz after Hamas attackers used paragliders to cross the border and fire indiscriminately into the crowd.

At a nearby kibbutz in southern Israel, Hamas terrorists massacred at least 40 babies and young children, before beheading some of them and gunning down their families.
The onslaught saw around 70 Hamas fighters armed with machine guns and grenades storm the usually quiet Kfar Aza kibbutz in southern Israel killing men, women and children indiscriminately.
The terrorists went on a rampage, killing hundreds of Israelis and taking dozens hostage in places like Kfar Aza, near Sderot. Some of the houses had been almost totally destroyed in the attack with collapsed, burned walls.
The death toll dwarfs the scale of any past attack by Islamists apart from 9/11. Scores of Israelis were taken to Gaza as hostages, with some paraded through the streets.
