And also, that's how they got other Mirage's like the IV and another early Mirage (by buying them, and then suiting them up for their own uses, not stealing the prints).

France did end up selling Mirage's to Israel, but at the time, Charles De Gaulle was refusing to sell them so they had to steal Mirage 3. It was being produced outside France, Switzerland if I remember right, and a Mossad agent managed to get ahold of several hundred copies of the design.
