They can try to refuse; Wikipedia says that 9,5% of the people who refuse on conscientious grounds are allowed to. Not serving will also wreck your chance to a normal life; Most jobs want only people who have served and completed their compulsory military service, and you are branded as a “refusenik”. Dodging the draft will get you a travel ban; you can’t even leave the country. So if your parents don’t do the smart thing and send you off before the draft, you are fucked; and if you leave, you can’t come back if you dont want to serve. Those are pretty shitty options if you just want to live your life in peace. It’s not NK, but it’s not comparable to any military in the west.

Oh no not missed job opportunities, those poor victims.
Israel is the real victim of the genocide of the Palestinian people!
Nice that you ignore the 90% that dont get the chance to refuse.
Everyone of them gets a fucking change to refuse.
Everyone of those 90% is forced to serve regardless of their resistance.
Everyone of them can choose to go to gaol instead of serving.
