   @JoshuaHolland all (non-arabic) Israeli's are required to perform military service and be callable as reserves. If we go down this path, then technically one might even more strongly argue there is no such thing as an Israeli "civilian" either.

     Anderson Cooper had on a former Israeli intel chief who said, "The noncombatant population in the Gaza strip is really a nonexistent term because all of the Gazans voted for Hamas, and...most of the population in the Gaza strip are Hamas."

     Cooper didn't push back.

     Again, #Hamas won an election with 44.5% of the vote 17 years ago, before around half of the population of #Gaza were born, and then seized complete power in a bloody civil war with Fatah.
