TEST MY THEORY, oh, please.
I would be HAPPY to...
1.) The kind of bulldozers the Israelis use are NOT like the ones your "bro in law" uses.. Guaranteed!!... They are ARMORED, and the operator uses SMALL vision ports, with VERY limited fields of vision.

2.) Depending upon the position of the blade, which was probably raised to bring down the walls of that house, the operator was probably unlikely to see her, or anything to the front. He just moves forward until he hears a crunch of the wall collapsing and then backs off to see how much damage he has done.
3.) It is not uncommon for even US soldiers to be accidentally killed during training due to tank drivers (and especially the tank commander) not paying attention to what's around them..
4.) She knew the risk.. She had no business getting in front of it in the first place.
Now, it's entirely possible that this bulldozer operator was acting maliciously.. And if so, I hope he's prosecuted, regardless of it being an American.
And I can guarantee you that, if you so chose, you could be killed by nearly anything if you chose to step in front of it..
Btw... more interesting IDF photos:
