Israeli officials seized a camera and broadcasting equipment belonging to The Associated Press in Sderot on Tuesday, accusing the news organization of violating a new media law by providing images to the banned Al Jazeera.
The Qatari satellite channel is among thousands of clients that receive live video feeds from the AP and other news organizations.
The so-called Al Jazeera law, which gives the government temporary powers to prevent foreign news networks from operating in Israel if they are deemed to be harming national security, passed its second and third readings in the Knesset plenum last month.
