Palestinian health ministry condemns Israeli killing of doctor in Jenin

Usaid Kamal Jabarin, a 50-year-old general surgeon, was one of seven people killed by Israeli forces on Tuesday during a raid on Jenin in the occupied West Bank.

Jabarin was shot dead on his way to Jenin Government Hospital, where he worked as a specialist and was well known in the community.

In a statement, the ministry condemned what it called Jabarin’s “deliberate murder”.
