I'll have to find the Law of Reciprocity, because this statement runs counter
to its intent. The intent of the Law of Reciprocity is that if nation X bombs
religious sites in nation y than nation y is *legally* allowed to bomb nation
X's religious sites on a 1 for 1 basis.

My understanding is that that article bans reprisals against
non-combatants (civilians, POWs and etc), although probably not
against combatants. I was thinking here of your 'you bomb our high
school, we bomb your high school' example. There's a good discussion
of some of these issues at the Crimes of War Project site... see
