==== Minoritas di IDF ====
Orang-orang [[Druze|Arab Druze]] dan [[Circassian]], seperti orang-orang Yahudi Israel, dikenai wajib militer di IDF. Mulanya, mereka dimasukkan dalam satuan khusus yang dinamai "Satuan Minoritas", yang masih ada hingga sekarang, dalam bentuk batalyon patroli Harev, namun sejak 1980-an, tentara-tentara Druze telah semakin gencar memprotes praktik ini, yang mereka anggap sebagai suatu bentuk segeregasi dan tidak memberikan akses untuk berdinas di satuan-satuan yang lebih bergengsi. Militer telah semakin banyak menerima tentara Druze ke dalam satuan-satuan tempur biasa dan memberikan mereka akses ke pangkat-pangkat yang lebih tinggi, yang sebelumnya tidak diberikan kepada mereka. Pada tahun-tahun belakangan, beberapa perwira Druze telah mencapai pangkat-pangkat di IDF bahkan hingga Mayor Jenderal, dan banyak yang memperoleh bintang-bintang kehormatan. Namun, beberapa orang Druze masih mengeluhkan diskriminasi dan khususnya tidak dilibatkan dalam Angkatan Udara, meskipun pembatasan resmi dengan alasan keamanan untuk tingkat rendah bagi Druze telah cukup lama dihapuskan. Penerbang Druze pertama lulus pendidikan terbangnya pada 2005, namun namanya dirahasiakan karena ia adalah anggota Angkatan Udara, dan merupakan cucu dari seorang Druze Suriah yang membelot dari pertempuran di [[Ramat Yohanan]] pada masa perang kemerdekaan, di mana sekitar 1000 tentara dan perwira Druze membelot dan bergabung dengan Israel.
<!--The issue of being subject to mandatory conscription, unlike other Israeli Arab citizens, is the subject of an ongoing controversy inside the Druze community itself. Since the late 1970's the [[Druze Intiative Committee]] centered at the village of [[Beit Jan]] and linked to the [[Israeli Communist Party]] had been campaigning to abolish Druze conscription - arguing that the Druze are Arabs and Palestinians and should not be compelled to fight their brothers and sisters; that Druze conscription was instituted in [[1956]] following an appeal by the heads of the Druze community to then PM [[Ben Gurion]] which should not be considered binding on youths born many decades later; and that Druze get both ends of the stick - being conscripted like Jews (and in fact, having a higher percentage of combat casualties than Jews) while being in civilian life subjected to the same discrimination suffered by other Arabs in Israel.

Such attitudes among the Israeli Druze were increased by contacts with their co-religioinists on the [[Golan Heights]], most of whom consider themselves [[Syrian]] patriots, do not recognise the Golan's annexation to Israel and waged an prolonged [[civil disobedience]] campaign in [[1982]], when the government tried to impose on them Israeli citizenship. Also, the first [[Lebanon War]] brought Israeli Druze soldiers indirect contact with their Lebanese co-religionists which had the effect of increasing disaffection - especially in 1982-83 when the Druze regarded the government as unfairly supporting Lebanese Christian militias then conducting a bloody conflict with the Lebanese Druze at the [[Shuf Mountains]] south of [[Beirut]].
