From what I could figure out from like 5 minutes of searching I think military reserves would be “non-combatants” but not civilians.
Paramilitaries are a bit less clear and there isn’t a solid answer. Possibility 1 is they fall into existing categories, and are either lawful combatants or civilians that would be covered by domestic law (Palestinian domestic law, not Israeli domestic law), possibility 2 is they’re a third distinct group and no one really knows what to do with them. Which would I guess mean “You can do what you want they aren’t covered by international law”?
Anybody know whether someone in military reserves or an armed paramilitary settler organization counts as a civilian under international law?
Doesn't matter, unlimited

do what the U.S. does and call them "illegal combatants"
Yeah that’s the “You can do what you want they’re not covered” option
