Fan carrying a Palestinian flag ran onto the field in Yankee Stadium during 9/11 commemorations

During 9/11 commemorations at Yankee Stadium on Friday, September 11, a fan carrying a Palestinian flag ran onto the field at 9:11 p.m. The individual was tackled by security and subsequently booed by spectators, who threw beer cans and chanted “USA” as the fan was removed. The incident occurred during the seventh inning of a Yankees-Mets game, which was part of a night honoring the victims of the 2001 terrorist attacks. The disruption also evoked past reactions in Palestinian territories to the 9/11 attacks and comes amid the ongoing Gaza conflict, which saw a ceasefire take effect in October 2025.
