FR24 just picking up one off the coast of France. Didn't know they had AAR aircraft. Looks like an ex USAF frame from the colour scheme !

Italian Air Force?
Indian Air Force?
Israeli Air Force?
Though none of those fly KC-135s.

The Israelis were supposed to be getting some ex-USAF KC135s (Although they want converted B767s), not heard of any deliveries yet (They have used B707 tankers for years)

It was 264/4X-JYH (if the HEX code is to believed) which is a KC707, not a KC-135. KC707s and KC-135 are different airframes as the '135s fuselage is narrower.
They've been operating this one for over 20 years.
