My understanding is that that article bans reprisals against
non-combatants (civilians, POWs and etc), although probably not
against combatants.

Well, every JAG that's ever briefed me used non-combatants as an example of the
Law. The school bombing example I wrote was one example given in the last Laws
of Armed Conflict class I had last June.

I haven't had a chance to look, but when I get a chance I'm going to google
"Law of Reciprocity".
