Yes, of course, in fact there are even some Muslims and Arabs in the Israeli forces.

According to Israeli Law, all Jewish male and female citizens of the country, unless they have a religious exception, are drafted into the IDF. All Druze men and all Circassian men are similarly drafted (but without a religious exception). Druze is a unique religion that diverged from Shiite Islam around 1000 years ago. Circassians are a Caucasus ethnic group who practice Islam. Additionally, a large number of Bedouins (who are Muslim) as well as small numbers of Christian-Israelis and ethnic Palestinian Muslim Israelis volunteer for the IDF.

Can Non-Jews join the Israeli Defense Forces?

Of course Non-Jews are permitted to join the Israeli Defense Forces; Non-Jews have been part of the IDF since its inception. The mandatory draft was extended to the Druze in 1956 and Druze, Bedouins, and Circassians have volunteered in high numbers for positions in the Israeli Defense Forces since Israeli Independence in 1948. Ethnic-Palestinian Israeli citizens are also permitted to join the Israeli Defense Forces, but rarely do since many Ethnic-Palestinians Israeli citizens do not want to open fire on other Palestinians.
