-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Israeli strike aircraft {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Winged Lions"]].
+In 1963, Israel proposed an idea to acquire US Navy surplus Skyhawks or have a special one made for Israel. At the time the proposal was rejected as an attempt for America to remain neutral but that changed three years later. The US planned to make a new variant for Israel called the A-4H. The A-4H was intended to be the regular A-4E but better suited for land-based operations. It was powered by the J52-P-8A, the same engine found in the humpback A-4Es. The A-4H would also be fitted with two 30 mm DEFA cannons rather than the standard armament of 20 mm cannons. Israel received around 90 A-4Hs until they were replaced by the vastly superior F-16 Fighting Falcon.

+In the early 1960s, Israel was keen to purchase Skyhawks from the U.S. either from surplus inventory or new planes being built for sale specifically to Israel. At first, the U.S. rejected Israel's request for A-4s in an effort to remain neutral to the Arab world. However, a few years later, the U.S. changed its mind and allowed Israel to purchase Skyhawks. Israel sent out an order of 48 A-4H Skyhawks. The A-4H was an A-4E but with a better engine (J52-P-8A), modified vertical stabilizer with an IFF (AN/APX-46), a drag chute, and didn't have the "humpback" which housed avionics. The A-4Hs arrived in Israel in late 1967 and the Israelis replaced the 20-millimeter cannons with DEFA 30-millimeter cannons.
