I think you are thinking of Druze.
Plenty of Bedouins do serve in the IDF, but its voluntary and more a way to assimilate into society. I dont think they are subject to the draft. ( I could be mistaken; there was a change recently and I believe Nazarene Arabs are subject to the draft now.)

Thanks. As I understand, Bedouins are not conscripted but some volunteer. Druze and Circassians are conscripted (by their own request). Christian Arabs also volunteer, their leaders want it to be mandatory (for the melting pot), but it is not so yet. I have heard that when one hears of “Muslims” serving in the IDF, they are usually Bedouins.
