Since forever.

They are not buying with their own money. Whoever told you that is lying to you.

That is certainly not true. From the article itself: "which Israel had purchased from Boeing with Israeli funds". So they do buy with their own money. But far less then I assumed.

What I missed was that the US provides aid, with the caveat that Israel has to spend it on US weapons. So they are buying from the US, but with US money.
