Re the smaller Hezbollah rockets, the ones they have thousands of..the IDF has counter-battery artillery radar..why can't that be used to pin-point the launch site, then obliterate it immediately.

They already are, I suspect. Tough to pin down a location and then if the launches are in inhabited areas and homes .. all the tougher to be accurate..

Old VC trick. Prop up rocket between two sticks, light 3 minute fuse, unass the area.

When rocket flies and counterbattery fire comes in, perps are long gone.

They can, and do. But the launch site isn't where the bad guys are. The protocol is to load a few missiles in a truck bed, take them somewhere, affix a timer to them, then scamper. By the time they launch, the shooters are already hotfooting it back for the next load.
