Israeli officials have seized a camera and broadcasting equipment belonging to The Associated Press (AP) news agency in southern Israel, accusing the news organisation of violating a new media law by providing images to Al Jazeera.

The Qatari-owned media network and satellite channel is among thousands of clients that receive live video feeds from the AP and other news organisations.

The AP denounced the move and accused the government of abusing the recently passed foreign media law.
