This statement does not seem to be correct. See

Note the following from there.<br><br>
<br>
Many people wear tefillin on chol hamoed in Eretz Yisroel, including some
gedolim. However, some do it betzinoh so it is not so well known.
<br><br>
One such godol is the Erlauer Rebbe. You can go in his beis medrash and
see him with tefillin. He keeps the minhogim of his zeide, the Chasam
Sofer, to wear tefillin on chol hamoed and daven nusach
Ashkenaz.<br><br>
There are even some minyonim where people wear tefillin on Chol Hamoed,
like a Yekkishe minyan in Bnei Brak that I know of.<br><br>
and (I do not know what all of the ? stand for.)
<br><br>
<br>
Here are a few names, a sampling of some past gedolim who wore tefillin
on chol hamoed IN ERETZ YISROEL (either betzinoh or otherwise)
<br><br>
Moreinu HaRav Schach, Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, Rav Michel Feinstein
(eidem of the Brisker Rav), Pressburger Rav, and Rav Duschinsky,
???.<br><br>
The ??? ????? was in Eretz Yisroel. In his siddur Shaarei Shomayim, he
has tefillin on chol hamoed.<br><br>
Rav Moshe Feinstein ??? writes in a teshuvoh that he knows of thousands
of bnei Torah who put on tefillin on chol hamoed in Eretz
Yisroel.<br><br>
?????? ????, ??? ???? ???? ????? ?????, ???? of Edah Charedis was
heard also taking the position that someone whose minhog is to put on
tefillin on chol hamoed cannot just suddenly drop it totally in Eretz
Yisroel.<br><br>
The above and previous post is based on what I heard about this inyan ???
?? ?????? ??????? ?????, ??? ?????? ??????? ??????? ??????. <br><br>
I think there is an Oberlander minyan in Yerushlayim where they wear
tefillin on Chol Hamoed as well, if I recall correctly. <br><br>
