Here’s a better explanation of it which also gives the history of the funding.

Note that this is an unbiased article which addresses pros and cons regarding aid to Israel. Not that I agree with the criticisms.

After Israel receives them, American ESF [Economic Support Funds] essentially return to the U.S. to repay large debts Israel incurred borrowing money from the U.S. to finance its military

So we give them money to pay back what we loan them.
