Al Jazeera's offices in East Jerusalem were raided on Sunday after Israel moved to close operations of the Qatar-based broadcaster in the country, according to Israeli media reports.

Television equipment has been confiscated, it said.

Al Jazeera said Israeli cable and satellite network providers have removed the channel from their services.

It comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday his Cabinet had unanimously decided to shut down Al Jazeera in Israel.

Israel accuses the Doha-based broadcaster of biased reporting on the ongoing war against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.

On Sunday, Al Jazeera again categorically denied accusations from Israel of biased reporting on the conflict in the Gaza Strip.
