Atif Najib, the former Syrian security chief in Daraa, has been sentenced to death for his role in the crackdown on protesters in 2011. A criminal court in Damascus also handed down death sentences in absentia to eight other former regime figures, including Bashar al-Assad and his brother Maher. The defendants were convicted of war crimes, crimes against humanity, murder, arbitrary detention and torture, including of children. The ruling is being seen as a landmark step towards transitional justice for victims of the Assad regime. Families of those killed and detained in Daraa welcomed the verdict, with celebrations taking place outside the Palace of Justice in Damascus. Najib's sentence cannot yet be carried out as legal appeals must first be completed, while Bashar and Maher remain in Russia. The case is being closely watched as a test of whether Syria can turn judicial rulings into meaningful accountability. Al Jazeera's Obaida Hitto reports from Damascus.

Footage shows an Egyptian-owned cargo vessel engulfed in flames in the Bab al-Mandeb strait after a suspected attack by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis killed four crew members. If confirmed, the deaths would be the first from a Houthi strike on shipping since the Iran war began in February.

Pakistan's Interior Minister has held talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi as part of mediation efforts to end the US-Iran conflict, amid signs that Tehran and Washington may be moving closer to an agreement. Qatar has said that talks between Iran and Oman on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz are at an advanced stage. In an interview with Al Jazeera, former senior US diplomat Alan Eyre said Iran and Oman have agreed on a temporary traffic separation scheme for 60 days, with ships passing under Iranian control, but that the US has a "veto" and the plan will not be implemented without Washington's agreement. Eyre said the main issue is "sequencing", with Iran wanting to "front-load the benefits" before implementing the deal, while the US has the same concerns about trust. He advised the administration to "take the less bad deal" and accept Iranian sovereignty over the strait to get traffic moving, warning that "the pain hasn't started yet" and serious economic pain could be felt in about a month.

People in Syria's Deraa have celebrated death sentences handed down to former President Bashar al-Assad and senior members of his security apparatus over war crimes and crimes against humanity. They include Assad's cousin Atef Najib, the former head of political security in Deraa, who was accused of overseeing the brutal repression of protesters there in 2011. Assad and other senior officials fled to Russia after his government was overthrown in December 2024, making their extradition unlikely. Najib, who was arrested inside Syria, is among the few senior former regime officials likely to face the sentences. But the death penalty could complicate efforts to bring other officials to justice, as countries and international organisations generally do not cooperate with jurisdictions where defendants could face execution. Al Jazeera's Heidi Pett reports from Deraa.
