ok, so thrown objects are now missiles?

The correct sentence would be "ok, so thrown objects are still missiles?"

The term has meant projectiles for centuries.

the common parlance associated with a ‘missile’ is not an object moving through the air, but of a self propelled device of destruction. the writer was obviously trying to ‘dress it up’ a bit.

my point being, would they dress up a similar story of the ‘missiles’ were of palestinian origin
