For Hobbes, punishment applies only to subjects, not to declared enemies
Evidence
Hobbes writes that “Harme inflicted upon one that is a declared enemy, fals not under the name of Punishment … For the punishments set down in the law, are to Subjects, not to Enemies; such as are they, that having been by their own act Subjects, deliberately revolting, deny the Soveraign Power” (ch. 28, 216). — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 988
