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.

What is the Israel Defence Forces made of?
The IDF is composed mostly of Jews, both since Jews are the majority ethnic/religious group in Israel and because both male and female Jews are forcibly conscripted into the Israeli Army (unless they have an Ultra-Orthodox exemption). Druze Israeli males and Circassian Israeli males also have mandatory conscription, but the Druze and the Circassians together make up around 1-2% of all Israelis. Bedouin Israeli males often serve by choice, but there is no requirement for them to serve. A few ethnic Palestinians, more Christians than Muslims also serve in the Israeli Defense Forces. There is currently a debate in Arab Israeli society concerning how much Arab Israelis should be contributing to the Israeli Defense Forces.
Are Arab Israelis inseparable from the Arab nation?
Aside from this question making little sense, the most likely interpretation of this question is a difficult one. Q: Do Arab Israelis consider themselves to belong to the Arab People or to Israel? A: Almost every type of Arab Israeli considers himself to be a part of the Arab People in the same way that German Americans still consider themselves to be ethnically German even though they do not live inside of a German State (such as Germany, Austria, or Switzerland). The more pertinent question is whether they see Israel as their State of Citizenship in a positive light or a more positive light than they would see having the citizenship of an extant Arab State or Palestine. The majority of Israeli Arabs consider themselves ethnically Palestinian. (Note that a minority of Arab Israelis do NOT consider themselves Palestinians and do not identify with that society, but all Palestinians at this point in history are Arabs.) They hold Israeli citizenship but usually do not serve in the Israeli Army. (This is as opposed to Jewish Israelis and some other Arab Israelis who are required to serve in the Israeli Army.) Within Israel, they often talk of how disgruntled (to put it mildly) they are with the current political structure and the treatment of the non-Israeli citizen Palestinians. Regardless of any disagreement that ethnically Palestinian Arab Israelis may have with the State of Israel, the vast majority, if pushed to answer, would not give up their Israeli citizenship for the citizenship of any other Arab State or Palestine. This sentiment, combined with the fact that they pay Israeli taxes, work at Israeli companies, and carry Israeli passports makes Arabs outside of Israel see these Arab Israelis as Israelis first and Arab second. Concurrently, since Israel is by law a Jewish State, the ethnically Palestinian Arab Israelis are seen by most Jewish Israelis as Arabs first and Israelis second. Caught in the middle, most ethnically Palestinian Arab Israelis feel that although they are Israeli citizens, they are truly Arabs in a foreign state. As concerns Arab Israelis who are not ethnically Palestinian, such as the Druze and Bedouins and other minorities which are called Arab Israelis by laymen even though they are not Arab such as Circassians and Armenians, the situation is markedly different. These Arab Israelis (which cumulatively form less than 5% of the Arab Israeli population) have declared sole loyalty to the State of Israel and consider themselves Israeli non-Jewish citizens. The Druze and Circassians put their men in the mandatory Israeli Army draft pool and a number of Bedouin voluntarily join the Israeli Army as trackers. They have little to no interest in joining with other Arab Nations. Note: There are certainly exceptions, but this is the general answer.
Is it mandatory for citizens to join the military in Israel?
Yes. Israeli and Druze males are required to serve for three years, and femals must serve for two.
