From what I have read about some of the jihadist groups is that there is a core of around 20% that are the hard radicals and the rest are young people driven or forced into the service.
Do what NATO does in Afghanistan, kill anyone wearing the enemy's colours in combat. Ruthlessly oppose the enemy, but offer mercy and amnesty to anyone who wants to surrender and the soft shell of semi-believers might come trickling over to your side.
Not sure if that will work in Israel.
