Israel was the largest export customer for the Skyhawk. In IAF service, the Skyhawk was named as the Ayit (Eagle). Israel purchased an incredible number of 217 A-4s, plus another 46 that were transferred from US units in Operation Nickel Grass to compensate for large losses during the Yom Kippur War. The extended tailpipe was an Israeli modification. On 13 December 2015, all remaining IAF Skyhawks were retired from service. This 715 (former BuNO 159552) was delivered to the IDF in 1974. The extended tailpipe was an Israeli modification, the aircraft was then designated as AjitM.

Former US Navy BuNo 158492 was delivered to The Israeli Air Force in October 1972. It was withdrawn from use in 2015.
