It was actually Reuters which wrongly captioned a video from a Dutch journalist named Annet De Graaf. All Dutch media verbatinm copied the Reuters line without doing any fact checking.

The Dutch journalist who made the video contacted all the newspapers but they refused to correct the caption for more than a day. The corrections came as a subtext after the damage was done and were not put on the front page.

It was very similar to the October 7 beheaded babies and rape hoaxes. Israel gave the narrative to the major newspapers and all international mainstream media copied it verbatim without doing any fact checking whatsoever. Journalists these days are a massive joke.
