Izchak Herzog said so in an interview with right-wing German tabloid BILD. His speaker, according to tagesschau.de (in general a trustworthy source) specified on request: “Die Tatsache, dass ein erheblicher Teil ihres Schädels gefunden wurde, löste die Angst aus, dass sie geköpft wurde.” (i.e., “The fact that a significant part of her skull was found sparked fears that she had been decapitated.”)

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza said more than 9,000 people had been killed in the Gaza Strip since 7 October, when the current conflict began after Hamas launched its deadly attacks on Israel, killing 1,400 people.
