Any missile site, A2AD site will be destroyed shortly after launch if not before. The US and Israel will deliberately find those sites (they’ve already found them) and use EW to scramble the targeting parameters and either guided missles or air strikes to destroy them. Same thing happened to Iraq. SCUD launchers were prioritized and destroyed during the opening phases of the war
