UPDATE: Post About Iranian Commander Being Double Agent Appears to Have Been an April Fool's Joke

Editor's note: Based on the X post below, Eli David apparently meant this as an April Fools' joke. David is generally a reliable source of news out of the Middle East, but the X post suggests it was a joke. We're not sure why someone would joke about something like this during a time of war, but we apologize for the error. 

Just confirmed on Israeli TV by the military reporter Shak Ran https://t.co/Vq1eYNC3mT
