Yes. Killing children is an immoral act under any circumstances.
Whether or not that should be used to tar an entire armed forces or government of a country should be connected to intentionality. There is an important distinction between actuality and intentionality. Actuality is what occurs, regardless of desires and intentionality is purpose and rationale. There is certainly an actuality that the Israeli Army has been responsible for the death of Palestinian Children and there is also certainly an actuality that Palestinian Militant and Terror Organizations have caused the death of Palestinian children. It is very important to note, however, that there is no intention in the Israeli Army, no memorandum, and no unofficial desire to kill Palestinian non-combatants (which includes children). The deaths of Palestinian children are regrettable and if the violence were to cease on both sides, Palestinian children would not have to worry about being embroiled in a conflict where both their country and another could end them.

There have never been Palestinian troops in Israel since there is no such thing as a Palestinian Army. (The Palestinian Authority has a Police Force and a Paramilitary Wing, but no proper army.) The Israeli Army has patrolled the Palestinian Territories since 1967.
Answer 1Unlike the terrorists, Israel does not target civilians.Answer 2There is an important distinction between actuality and intentionality.

Answer 1Your question is one-sided. Israel is defending itself from terrorism. Did you forget that? I have friends in the Israeli army and they list for me every day the rock-throwing incidents, the bombs defused, the suicide-bombers detained, etc.Israel goes to great lengths to try to avoid collateral casualties.Answer 2First, while the Israeli army and individual Israelis may be Jews, it is important to note that the actual two parties are Israelis and Palestinians, not Jews and Arabs. There are many Jews who do not fight in the Israeli military because of religious obligations or health reasons, and there are many Arabs who do fight in the Israeli Army either by choice or by conscription.As concerns Israelis killing Palestinians, there is an important distinction between actuality and intentionality. Actuality is what occurs, regardless of desires; and intentionality is purpose and rationale. There is certainly an actuality that the Israeli Army has been responsible for the death of Palestinian civilians and militants and there is also certainly an actuality that Palestinian Militant and Terror Organizations have caused the death of Palestinian civilians or militants, as well as having killed many Israeli citizens and soldiers. It is very important to note, however, that there is no intention in the Israeli Army, no memorandum, and no official or unofficial desire to kill Palestinian non-combatants. The deaths of Palestinian civilians are regrettable and if the violence were to cease on both sides, Palestinian civilians would not have to worry about being embroiled in a conflict where both their country and another could end them. As for militants, Israel has a duty to protect its own citizens and does not apologize for engaging its violent adversaries.
GENERALLY, YES, but it is more complicated.For groups who are drafted, there is a two-year requirement of service for women and a three-year requirement of service for men. The groups that are drafted are: Israeli Jews (except the Ultra-Orthodox who have a number of exemptions), Israeli Druze Men, and Israeli Circassian Men. Israeli Bedouins, Palestinian Muslim Citizens of Israel, and Palestinian Christian Citizens of Israel are not required to serve. Many Israeli Bedouin Men have a tradition of service, but there is no draft for them. A number of Orthodox Jewish battalions are now forming in the Israeli Army because of insufficient numbers of exemptions and increasing patriotism in the Orthodox Jewish community. Increasingly, Palestinian Citizens of Israel are enlisting, but it remains very unpopular in Israel's ethnic Palestinian communities to serve in the Israeli Army. Additionally, a number of foreign Jews enlist in the Israeli Army. Regardless, any individual who enlists in the Israeli Army is held to the same two-year requirement of service for women and a three-year requirement of service for men.
General AnswerOn a general basis, most days do not have any Palestinian child deaths or if such deaths occur, we are talking about incidental numbers, primarily coming from garden-variety homicide.Strict NumbersIf you strictly want numbers, from September 2000 to October 2015, B'Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization that is known in Israel for being very sympathetic to the Palestinian Cause, 1,407 Palestinian children have been killed. (This includes the Second Intifada and all three Gazan Wars.) This would average to one Palestinian child death every four days. -- Far less than you likely imagined. Compare this to Darfur, where in 2004, 180 children were dying per day as a result of Sudanese-supported Janjawid.Discussion of Palestinian Self-EndangermentIf the question is specifically asking about wartime, this entirely depends on what actions Palestinians choose to do. In all three Gazan Wars and in all three Intifadas, Israel has not targeted Palestinian children. While it is certainly the case that Israeli Army, Police, and Civilians have been responsible for the death of Palestinian Children, there is also certainly an actuality that Palestinian Militant and Terror Organizations have caused the death of Palestinian children. In fact, many more of the deaths of Palestinian children are due to either (1) Palestinian children choosing to become suicide bombers or (2) Palestinian families refusing to leave areas where Hamas has set up rocket launchers.It is very important to note that there is no intention in the Israeli Army, no memorandum, and no unofficial desire to kill Palestinian non-combatants (which includes children). The deaths of Palestinian children are regrettable and if the violence were to cease on both sides, Palestinian children would not have to worry about being embroiled in a conflict where both their country and another could end them.We should also ask, how many stabbings are occurring throughout Israel right now by Palestinians, especially younger children, who are convinced that by murdering Jews that they will get into paradise and "achieve something" for Palestine.
Yes, Israeli Arabs can served in the Israeli armed services. However, they are not required to do so, it's on a voluntary basis. Israeli Arab minorities like the Druze and the Circassians do have mandatory male service in the Israeli army. The Bedouins serve voluntarily, but have a relatively high service rate. It is ethnic Palestinians, especially ethnic Muslim Palestinians, who often do not serve in the Israeli Army. Many of them, especially in the older generation, see service in the Israeli Army as a betrayal of their ethnic Palestinian nature.
It was in response to America's support for Israel, who many Palestinian Muslims blamed for the massacre of innocent civilians in the refuge camps of Sabra and Shatila. It was claimed that the Israeli army, stood by and watched while their allies the Lebanese Christian Phalangists entered the camps and shot unarmed men women and children. As Israel's main supporter and ally America was felt to be in some way responsible by many Palestinian groups. After the Israeli government established the Kahan Commission to investigate the massacre in 1983 it found that Israeli was indirectly responsible and Ariel Sharon was held to be personally responsible.
There are two main drawbacks. The first is that you and any children you bare will be liable for service in the Israeli Army. The second is that several countries will not allow you entry.
No country was defeated by an alliance of these three countries. Conversely, Israel defeated Palestinian militias, the Jordanian Army, and the Iraqi Army among other armed forces in the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9.

The longest and most severe oppression of Israel is often attributed to the ongoing conflict with Palestinian groups and the broader Arab-Israeli conflict. The Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which began in 1967, has led to significant tensions and humanitarian issues. Various Palestinian factions, including Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, have engaged in armed conflict and resistance against Israeli policies, contributing to a cycle of violence and repression. This situation has resulted in widespread debate and differing perspectives on the nature and impact of the oppression experienced by both Israelis and Palestinians.
