Doctor among two Palestinians killed by Israeli forces

NABLUS (Palestinian Territories), Oct 14 (Al Jazeera): Ramallah, occupied West Bank - Israeli forces have shot and killed two Palestinian men, including a physician, during a raid on the city of Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian health ministry identified the doctor as Abdullah al-Ahmad, in his 40s, and said he was shot in the head by Israeli forces on Friday morning in front of the Jenin public hospital.
The second man killed on Friday morning is 20-year-old Mateen Dabaya, a health ministry spokesperson told Al Jazeera.
At least 160 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank since the beginning of the year.
In a statement, the Jenin Brigades, a Palestinian armed resistance group that was formed last year, identified Dabaya as a local commander in their group. Dabaya was shot with a bullet to the head, ministry spokesperson Mohammad Awawdeh said.
The killings took place shortly after dozens of Israeli armoured vehicles raided Jenin on Friday at 8am (05:00 GMT), during which armed clashes and confrontations broke out with Israeli forces.
Videos shared by local journalists appeared to show Israeli forces shooting at ambulance crews.
At least five other Palestinians have been wounded with live ammunition on Friday morning in Jenin, according to the health ministry.
