This 2004 story isn't even archived on the Daily Mail site, it only exists in the meme form above. Interestingly, it relies primarily on the testimony of a liberal Jew, human-rights watcher Rabbi Arik Ascherman.

The police position: "I know there was violent rioting, serious rock throwing. It's unclear what happened," said police spokesman Gil Kleiman. "As a general rule, we do not expose civilians to physical damage willingly." This does not seem to have been followed up on, but to call it a 20-year-old war crime even if fully corroborated would demean the actual rapes and possible targeted killings that are being accused in the current war.

The child was Mohammed Badwan whose father Saeed Badwan was also involved. Ascherman could have snapped the photo before he was arrested for interference.

If you're going to use a human-shield argument, it's better not to lean on photos produced with clear agenda (see Ascherman's bio) when you can find straightforward examples judged by the military, such as when two staff sergeants of the Givati Brigade were convicted, sentenced, and demoted 2010-10-03 for forcing a child at gunpoint to open packages that might have been booby-trapped.
