Yes that's as I understand it.
Certainly that would not be accurate given the number of conflicts since 1799."No instance of resort to such executions have occured since 1799, when Napoleon bayonetted the Arabs at Jaffa."
The last sentence may or may not be accurate.
Such is the current state of the law according to the best sources I've found.

Mike, thank you for your effort on this. I have learned a lot and am sure others have too.
