There are "Arab Israelis" as well. Basically Palestinians who weren't driven out and are now citizens or the descendants of those Palestinians. They have to serve in the IDF regardless of their politics (which, as you can imagine, aren't very sympathetic toward Israel). They also prefer to be called Palestinian Citizens of Israel, but the media usually calls them Arab Israelis or Israeli Arabs to differentiate them from the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

IDF draft laws only apply to Jews, and male Druze and Circassians.

Bedouins, etc. serve voluntarily.

And from the Wikipedia page, it seems like it's not all, but a majority that refer to themselves in that way.

Yeah I know that there are many of those, but as another poster mentioned except the Druze and some beduins Palestinians with an Israeli passport mostly don’t serve in the IDF.
