The “Gospel” of James does mention it as well, though that text is beyond suspect.

Josephus does record that Herod ordered the killing of his young Jewish children for fear that they sought to take over his throne.

Josephus records that Herod ordered the killing of the Hasmonean dynasty (who belonged to the priestly Sadducean class), not all Jewish children.
