This is such a common jew thing to say that the author goes over it before the translation even begins. See the images I posted.
Somewhat related bit of information, check the Islamic rules of war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_military_jurisprudence
Specifically this part:
'O people! I charge you with ten rules; learn them well! Stop, O people, that I may give you ten rules for your guidance in the battlefield. Do not commit treachery or deviate from the right path. You must not mutilate dead bodies. Neither kill a child, nor a woman, nor an aged man. Bring no harm to the trees, nor burn them with fire, especially those which are fruitful. Slay not any of the enemy's flock, save for your food. You are likely to pass by people who have devoted their lives to monastic services; leave them alone.'
