I heard an interview with a friend of a Canadian/Jewish human rights worker who died on October 7. She was devastated that her friend had died and also disgusted with Netanyahu's response as she felt her friend would have been as well.
"There are lies emanating from the inherent unreliability and fallibility of human testimony. No two people can relate the occurrence of a street accident so as to make the two stories tally. When bias and emotion are introduced, human testimony becomes quite valueless. In war-time such testimony is accepted as conclusive. The scrappiest and most unreliable evidence is sufficient - "the friend of the brother of a man who was killed", or, as a German investigator of his own liars puts it, "somebody who had seen it", or, "an extremely respectable old woman".

The Israeli’s probably killed her. They killed most of those who died on Oct 6th. Still, I’m sad for her death. Human rights workers are angels.
