Good question, seeing that "Love thy neighbour as thyself" is actually a quote from the OT.

@kutschkem - How is that quote related to my question?

Because Jesus uses it to teach that all men are our neighbors? I think this is relevant to your question. Anyway, if I thought that OT quote answered you question, then I would write an answer instead of a comment. I am not certain the OT context is enough to conclude "love your enemies".

"Because Jesus uses it to teach that all men are our neighbors?" - I've always thought that in His sermon Jesus was contrasting the old-testament "hate your enemies" with His "love your enemies".

I mean the parable of the good samaritan: biblica.com/bible/?osis=niv:Luke.10:25%E2%80%9310:37 here the "Love your neighbor as thyself" is referenced, which is from Lev. 19:18 “‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord."

The closest approximation I know is Lev 19:33-34 :
When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your
native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt.
I am the Lord your God.
Still far from "love your enemy", but sure a step forward from "love your neighbor" (and incidentally, far to be fully achieved still today, sadly).
