It is a powerful photo in any context. The composition is striking.

Context:

The image stemmed from a clash in the West Bank settlement of Amona, east of the Palestinian town of Ramallah, in February 2006. About 200 people were wounded as hundreds of stone-throwing Jewish settlers resisted a forced evacuation of the illegal outpost. The violence came after a court allowed the demolition of nine homes at the site.

Balilty said he and a colleague were covering the clashes and at one point, they decided to split up and stake out different positions. That’s when he captured the woman’s fierce resistance.

You might want to explain the context.
