You can literally just watch the video "Hila From H3H3 Discusses Her Time In the Israeli Military" on the H3 Podcast Highlights channel. The video linked above is a reaction to it. Hila literally says in the video that she could've gotten out of the military.

Link to the original video: https://youtu.be/ytOl5hbTrCY

2:15 — Hila says, "And if I don't like the second one [referring to changing her job in the IDF], then I'll just find a way to get out of the army." (emphasis mine)

You can watch the video yourself to confirm that this is what she says, and that this is on the verified, official H3 Podcast Highlights channel.

So this is straight from the horse's mouth, as it were: she wouldn't need to jump off a bridge, she in fact knew at the time that she could've found a way out of military service if she wanted to, she knew this was an opportunity but she simply did not take it. She just says this outright in the video, on the official channel, publicly for all the world to see for nearly seven years now since that video was published.

Now speaking as someone from a country that also practices conscription, I hold people to the same standards regardless of whether they're from Scandinavia or the Levant: if you cannot find a way out of mandatory military service, and you risk imprisonment for refusing service, then do your time. Having moral principles means being willing to make sacrifices.
