4. 委员会自从向大会提交所涉期间为 2014 年 10 月 7 日至 2015 年 10 月 6 日的报告(A/70/35)以来，一直深为关切包括东耶路撒冷在内的巴勒斯坦被占领土的局势和占领国以色列的持续侵犯行为，包括继续建造定居点，任意逮捕、折磨和虐待巴勒斯坦囚犯和被拘留者(包括儿童)，拆毁房屋和驱逐巴勒斯坦人(特别是在东耶路撒冷)，强迫平民(包括贝都因人)流离失所，施行定居者暴力和破坏他人财产，在圣地周围尤其是在被占领的东耶路撒冷进行煽动和挑衅活动。委员会尤其表示关切的是，耶路撒冷局势几乎到了无法挽回的地步，强调所有冲突当事方的暴力行为是不能接受的，并重申坚决拒绝所有攻击平民目标的行为。从 10 月初至 12月 28 日，共有 125 名巴勒斯坦人被以色列人打死，其中 103 人死于西岸和东耶路撒冷；还有 12 466 人受伤，其中 11 212 人在西岸和东耶路撒冷受伤。
4. Since the submission to the General Assembly of the report of the Committee covering the period from 7 October 2014 to 6 October 2015 (A/70/35), the Committee has remained deeply concerned about the situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and the ongoing violations by Israel, the occupying Power, including continuing settlement construction, arbitrary arrests, torture and mistreatment of Palestinian prisoners and detainees, including children, demolitions of housing and expulsions of Palestinians, particularly in East Jerusalem, forced displacement of civilians, including Bedouin communities, settler violence and vandalism, as well as incitement and provocative actions around the holy sites, particularly in Occupied East Jerusalem. The Committee expressed particular concern that the situation in Jerusalem is close to a point of no return, underscored that violence by all parties to the conflict is unacceptable and reiterated its total rejection of all attacks against civilian targets. Since early October, as at 28 December, a total of 125 Palestinians have been killed by Israelis, 103 of them in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and 12,466 injured, 11,212 of them in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
