With headlines like this one, it would be helpful to add the country the army is from, for example in parentheses.

"While the service declined to specify where the P-HEL systems were deployed, citing operational security, the Defense Department's top spokesman had previously suggested that directed-energy weapons were part of the defensive arsenal of U.S. military forces in the Middle East currently subject to the ongoing drone and missile attacks since the start of Israel's war in Gaza in October."

But really Gaza or Ukraine 🤷🏼‍♂️
