Israel shuts down Associated Press live video feed of Gaza

Israel said it had shut down an Associated Press live video feed of war-torn Gaza on Tuesday, sparking a protest from the US news agency and concern from the White House.

Israel’s communications ministry accused the AP of breaching a new ban on providing rolling footage of Gaza to Qatar-based satellite channel Al Jazeera.

It said its inspectors moved in and “confiscated the equipment” on orders approved by the government “in accordance with the law”.
