Police say they have released ultra-Orthodox journalist Israel Frey, who was arrested earlier in the day over complaints about several of his tweets that were seen as inciting Palestinian terror against Israelis.

Police say Frey was questioned under caution on suspicion of violating a section of the anti-terror law and later released.

They give no further details.
