Actually no, they make most of their own weapons and are a major arms exporter.

Main battle tank, Israeli made Merkava (“Chariot”)
Small arms-main assault rifle: IMI Tavor TAR-21
Navy: Israeli built except for their subs which come from Germany.

We do supply them fighters and helicopters and some advanced munitions.
