JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel has signed a $927 million purchase order for four Boeing (NYSE:BA) KC-46A refuelling tankers for its air force, with deliveries due to begin in 2025, the U.S. defence contractor said on Thursday.

Israeli officials have described the tankers as important for planning military operations that could potentially include a long-threatened attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
