1. Why does the US provide munitions to Israel when Israel can produce them itself? The answer is simple, US aid can only be used to purchase US made weaponry.
2. Why does the US aid Israel? Because the US gains more than Israel. Israeli technology transfer, intelligence sharing of the middle east, bases to park your logistic footprint, influence, leverage, stimulus for the US economy and military industries, and come with string attached often cutting out the competition etc..
3. What happens if the US stops aiding Israel? Israel becomes dependent on its own production line. Israel has its own defense industry and will no longer be required to be under the pressure of US interests. Receiving aid from the US makes Israel committed to US' interests and pressure. The US pressures Israel to not export Israeli made arms to certain countries deemed rogue by the US or hostile to the US. Now how much of revenue is lost annually because of this?
4. Why would the US continue to aid Israel? The aid the US provides to Israel are not free gifts. The US brokered a deal promising aid if Israel returns Sinai back to Egypt. Yes, the US made Israel give up 60,000 km2 of land (3 times bigger than Israel today) promising aid in return.
5. Does the US benefit from aiding Israel? Absolutely, Israel battle tested US F-15, F-16 and F-35, promoting US weapons to the world as capable and combat proven thus increasing interests and sales for the US and then sharing operation data of the systems back to the US. Another benefit for the US is that the aid effectively "kills" Israeli military systems that competes with US made systems. The US pressured Israel to cancel Israeli Lavi fighter jet program because the US was afraid it would compete with the US F-16 on the market. So in return the US proposed ongoing aid. You see, the US aid is not free gifts, it's a tool. Some say US foreign "aid" is economic imperialism with strings attached.
6. What will happen to Israel if the US withdraws all support and isolate Israel? The US stands to lose almost as much as Israel. Russia and China will cozy up to Israel for Israeli cutting edge technology. This will be the US and Europe's biggest nightmare, imagine Russia and China with Israeli made weapons. The US will never allow this to happen.

Military Tier list:
S: USA(All of its wars were fought more than 10,000 km away crossing oceans. King of logistics. Largest air force in the world, power projection, largest fleet of carriers in the world, the most advance military on the planet in almost all domain. The US military is the only military on earth which is capable of bringing its land forces to any part of the world to wage war be it crossing oceans).
A: UK(Finest soldiers, well trained, naval power projection), France, Israel(Lacks Navy and size, but Israeli technology is on a different level because of innovation. Arguably has the best fighter pilots in the world, The Israeli Air Force has a historical kill ratio of over 19:1. The Israeli Air Force has shot down almost 600 enemy planes (including 5 Soviet MiGs in one 3-minute dogfight with zero losses. Israel could possibly beat the UK or France in ground and aerial war if hypothetically were beside one another but will very likely lose in naval battles. UK and France have power projection, both of them have the capability to wage war far and beyond their region while Israel is only regional.)
B+: Russia(If we consider Russia's nuclear stockpile, it belong to second only to the US in terms of overall military power. Lacks power projection. Has the largest artillery and tank force in the world), China(Manufacturing power, large army, lacks power projection. Its mass produced cheap drones will cause a whole lot of problems for adversaries. Has the world's largest and most diverse arsenal of land based conventional missiles. Has the Largest army and navy in the world), India(Has the 2nd largest army, mountain warfare specialty, however lacks power projection), Japan(Treaty restriction, technology prowess), South Korea(Its technology is to be reckoned with.)
B: Turkey(Probably belong to lower end B+, drone power, produces its own capable military hardwares. Second largest standing military force in NATO), Italy(builds well known quality warships), Poland(Soon to have the most powerful land army in Europe), Brazil, Spain, Taiwan, Greece, Germany(Potential of being higher), Australia(Military size is small, but well trained and equipped with advance weaponry), Canada(Well trained army but lacks the size)
C: Finland(Fought the Soviet and loss only 25,904 troops while the Soviet loss 126,875–167,976 troops. Western Europe's strongest artillery force), Sweden(Known for its silent diesel-electric submarines), Egypt, Ukraine(Bravery10/10, S tier. Its infantry currently has the best experience on the field) Pakistan(Here only because of nukes should probably be higher for the same reason. Without nukes it belongs to D)
D: Iran(Iran is durable, war of attrition will favor it in long drawn out wars. Has large stockpile of rockets, ballistic missiles and drones. Have significant influence in the middle east by its proxies), Saudi Arabia(one of the largest importers of US arms), Syria, Jordan
E: Vietnam(King of Jungle warfare), Indonesia(Formidable jungle warfare), Philippines(Currently upgrading and modernizing its military and also has experience in counter insurgency), Malaysia, Yemen, Libya
