I believe that is incorrect. It was a social media influencer, Hananya Naftali, who shills for the IDF but is not an official in the Israeli government who put out that story. It, like the 40 beheaded babies (original report was up to 40 babies murdered, some reportedly beheaded, not 40 beheaded babies), got caught up in a game of telephone, eventually leading to Naftali morphing into a "top advisor" to Netanyahu. As far as I am aware, Naftali was the only source of this "initial response."
