Very sad to read about the loss of life at a wedding. It’s so difficult to know the truth when both sides are making strong claims. Praying for the families affected.

Agreed. Diplomatic channels need to be prioritized by all parties. Public accusations and threats only make a peaceful resolution harder to achieve.
The call for accountability by the international community is important, regardless of who is responsible. Attacks on civilians are a serious matter under international law.
