It depends on where it comes from. If it is reactivated from the other side's scoring area (for example, a Shadow battleground the Free Peoples captured), its own defense icons are ignored. If it is reactivated from its own side's scoring area, the icons count. Cards like Great Gate add icons to themselves, so those still count.
