Original Note:
There is no rule against soldiers competing in the games, but athletes are held to "political neutrality" in the Olympic Charter. Displaying support and encouragement towards the military siege and strikes on Gaza are political opinions, even if being a soldier isn't. https://olympics.com/ioc/olympic-charter
