Not a justification, but one of the problems with Israeli conscription laws is that service is mandatory, and everyone who serves is obligated to be a reservist until the age of 40 and even 50 depending.
It gets real hard to distinguish if any given individuals in Israel are one of the limited populations exempted from serving in the IDF.
It seems some people refuse to serve, and sure such people might be rare, but they may still exist. And you might have someone who served in the IDF because they had to, but afterwards they have campaigned for an end to compulsory IDF service, and for Israel to recognise Palestine, etc. So I just think it’s wrong to harm civilians.
