Israeli authorities have shut down the Associated Press' (AP) live broadcast from Sderot, a town on the Gaza border, and seized camera equipment. The AP is accused of violating a new media law by providing material to Al Jazeera. Despite a verbal order to stop broadcasting last Thursday, the AP continued to transmit a live feed of the northern Gaza skyline. The AP condemned the actions, stating that the shutdown was not based on content but an "abusive use" of the new law. The AP urged the authorities to return their equipment and reinstate the live feed, which provides vital visual journalism to global media outlets.
