Rationale for Muhammad al-Durrah incident

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:

It is a historically significant and iconic image.
It is of lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality.
The image has no monetary value that our use of it would affect.
It has been widely distributed free of charge by the copyright holder.
It is being used for informational purposes in an article about the event it depicts.
The imagery and its historical significance are a key part of the story and the article would be significantly poorer without it.
The significance of this image is that it shows the moment of the reported shooting, during which only dust can be seen, something that has caused a great deal of the controversy over whether the pair were actually shot. Commentators have asked why the camera went out of focus. In addition, it appears unlikely from this frame that it would be possible to tell where the shots had come from, yet France 2 announced that the Israelis had targeted the pair. This has been a major part of the controversy.
