Ok, so I was conflating the two stories in the OP. I have done a little more reading around the internet and seen that the German-Israeli woman from the thread title, it was her head that was found, or at least a part of it. According to other reports her body had not yet been found and it is believed by officials and her family that she was killed almost immediately during the attack.
As for the woman in the video, I wish I could say I was surprised by this. It is an unfortunate reality of armed conflict and has been all throughout human history. We like to think that we have moved beyond it, but in every conflict we know that isn't the case. Because Hamas and PIJ are terrorist organizations that take hostages, lack the formal military infrastructure, and don't tend to hide their activities like this as well as a result, we know more about this than when Russians invade Ukraine. People really suck.
