Yes, that first but confirms the news article.

~~And then it talks about a deployment 5 years ago for a training exercise.~~

~~These aren't brick and mortar buildings, they're mobile platforms, and mobile air defense batteries redeploy all the time.~~

~~Again, I am not closed to the idea that there was US military operated THAAD system in Israel during that attack, I just can't find any reports confirming that, or even eluding to it.~~

Never mind, I misread that last bit. I will take a look at it later when I have a few moments, thank you.
