Israel on Wednesday backed away from an accusation that the United Nations allowed a vehicle to be used to transport a rocket for Palestinian militants. Israel released a surveillance picture on Oct. 4 which it said showed a rocket being loaded into a UN truck.

The UN said the object in the picture was a stretcher.
