I posted a fairly angry rant about this earlier. Then I found this. CNN did cover the story. Look carefully at the "before" and "after" pictures. Look at the top of the bulldozer. These are not the same bulldozers. Look at the skyline. This is not the same place. These pictures create a misleading sense of timeline.

So it IS possible that they guy simply didn't see her. Questions remain. Trouble is that neither the IDF nor this American group can really be trusted to tell the truth.
