The company is a long-standing partner of the Israeli defense establishment and defense industry, and Boeing aircraft have been used by the Israeli military since 1948.
The Boeing Harpoon anti-ship missile was used as the primary sea-to-sea missile on the Israeli Navy's Sa'ar 4, Sa'ar 4.5 and Sa'ar 5 ships, which are used to enforce the illegal naval siege of Gaza.
Boeing B707 aircraft have been used in various roles in the Israeli Air Force for about 50 years, including intelligence gathering, cargo transport and aerial refueling.
Munitions
Boeing provides the Israeli military with precision-guided bombs, aircraft bombs, and Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) kits that turn bombs into “smart” GPS-equipped guided bombs. The JDAM is a guidance kit that improves the accuracy of unguided, general-purpose bombs from fighter and bomber aircraft.
The Israeli military was the first international customer to purchase the Boeing JDAM and operate it on the battlefield. Boeing JDAM guidance kits can be attached to Israeli-made bombs, such as Elbit Systems’ MPR500 multi-purpose bomb, which was certified by Boeing as compatible with its JDAM kit.
Joint Direct Attack Munitions have been in use by the Israeli military in occupied Gaza and southern Lebanon since October 2023.
In March 2026, it was reported that Boeing signed a contract valued at about USD 289 million to supply up to 5,000 air-launched precision bombs to Israel in a direct commercial sale.
In June 2025, the U.S. State Department approved a Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Israel of Boeing Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kits and related equipment for an estimated cost of USD 510 million. The sale includes 3,845 KMU-558B/B Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kits for the BLU-109 bomb body and 3,280 KMU-572 F/B JDAM guidance kits for the MK 82 bomb body to be provided by Boeing Company.
In February 2025, Boeing reportedly provided Israel with half-ton and ton bombs, bunker busters, fuses and precision guidance kits worth USD 9 billion.
On 28 February 2025, the U.S. Secretary of State approved a Foreign Military Sale of Munitions, Guidance Kits, and Munitions Support, and related equipment to Israel, for an estimated cost of USD 675.7 million, with Boeing Company as one of the two principal contractors. The sale includes 5,000 Boeing Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kits for the MK 83 bomb body.
On 7 February 2025, the U.S. State Department approved a Military Sale of munitions, Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) Guidance Kits, GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bombs, fuses, and related equipment and support services to Israel for an estimated cost of USD 6.75 billion. The sale included 2,166 Boeing GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bombs and 17,479J DAM Guidance Kits, with Boeing Company as one of the principal contractors.
Boeing Munitions in Gaza
Israel has repeatedly used the GBU-39 and JDAM-guided bombs against civilians and civilian infrastructure in Gaza during the genocide, including attacks on schools and medical facilities.
On May 25, 2025, at least three GBU-39 bombs were used in an Israeli attack on the Fahmi al-Jarjawi School in Gaza City, which was used as a shelter, killing 36 people.
In September 2024, the Gaza Civil Defense headquarters in al-Daraj in Gaza City was targeted with a GBU-39 bomb.

In May 2024, Boeing GBU-39 small-diameter bombs were used in an Israeli military attack on a displacement camp in Rafah, killing at least 45 people and injuring more than 200, most of them women and children.
In October 2023, Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs) were used by the Israeli military in two airstrikes on Gaza in which 43 people were killed, including 19 children. The attacks occurred in an area to which the Israeli military had ordered residents of northern Gaza to move.
Apache Attack Helicopters
Boeing provides the Israeli Air Force with the Apache AH-64A and Apache AH-64D Longbow attack helicopters.
Since 1990, the Apache helicopters have been used by the Israeli Air Force in repeated military attacks and targeted killings in Gaza, as well as operational activity in the occupied West Bank and in military training in the occupied Syrian Golan.
In January 2026, the U.S. State Department approved a Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Israel of 30 Boeing AH-64E Apache Helicopters and related equipment for an estimated cost of USD 3.8 billion. The sale also includes training devices, communication systems, simulators, spare and repair parts, personnel training and training equipment, technical and logistics support services and other related elements of program and logistical support.
In August 2026, the Israeli Ministerial Committee for Procurement approved the purchase in principle of 12 Apache helicopters. This came amid a 10-year government program worth NIS 350 billion to strengthen the military, which includes purchases for several units in the Air Force, including the purchase of F15ex squadrons.
In 2026, Boeing, in collaboration with Air Force engineers and the Israeli state-owned weapons manufacturer Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, adapted the Israeli Apache's mission processors, enabling it to launch Spike missiles from tens of kilometers away without the need to see the target.
Boeing Apache in Gaza
Since the beginning of the genocide, the Israeli Air Force's Apache jets, operated by Squadron 190 and Squadron 113, have operated in Gaza 24/7 and have taken part in airstrikes on Gaza. Between October 2023 and February 2024 alone, Squadron 190 participated in more than 1,700 airstrikes.
Boeing attack helicopters have also been used in previous Israeli assaults on Gaza, including the three-day offensive in August 2022, during which 44 Palestinians were killed, including 15 children. In 2014, at least 13 Palestinian children were killed by missiles fired directly from Apache helicopters in Gaza. Boeing attack helicopters were also used in attacks on Gaza in 2008-2009, during which 1,383 Palestinians were killed, including 333 were children.
The Boeing AH-64 Apache combat helicopters consist of two General Electric T700-GE-701 engines.

Munitions
Boeing provides the Israeli military with precision-guided bombs, aircraft bombs, and Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) kits that turn bombs into “smart” GPS-equipped guided bombs. The JDAM is a guidance kit that improves the accuracy of unguided, general-purpose bombs from fighter and bomber aircraft.
The Israeli military was the first international customer to purchase the Boeing JDAM and operate it on the battlefield. Boeing JDAM guidance kits can be attached to Israeli-made bombs, such as Elbit Systems’ MPR500 multi-purpose bomb, which was certified by Boeing as compatible with its JDAM kit.
Joint Direct Attack Munitions have been in use by the Israeli military in occupied Gaza and southern Lebanon since October 2023.
In March 2026, it was reported that Boeing signed a contract valued at about USD 289 million to supply up to 5,000 air-launched precision bombs to Israel in a direct commercial sale.
In June 2025, the U.S. State Department approved a Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Israel of Boeing Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kits and related equipment for an estimated cost of USD 510 million.
