The Israelis could take the hint and purchase bigger dozers. Something like the Komatsu D575A.

Israel uses the D9s in real combat situations aside from anti-terror (such as the last Lebanon war). They need a beast that is powerful yet still manuverable enough over rough terrain and able to cross combat temp bridges. Also the driver needs to have a much clearer view of what is infront of him and the dozer's blade. Both these needs seem (though admittedly i am just looking at the photo) more lacking in the dozer you posted.
