Didn't realise he had been killed. Too bad...
'The fighter is believed to be Ahed Adnan Abu Sitta, who became famous around the world, especially in the Middle East, for a single phrase, which he uttered, as he jumped for joy immediately after blowing up an Israeli army tank somewhere in Gaza.
In the viral video, shared by Al-Quds Brigades, one of several Resistance fighting forces in the besieged Strip, Abu Sitta takes aim, fires at an invading Israeli tank, then turns around and runs back to his position.
Then, Abu Sitta was heard shouting ‘Wala’at’, a slang Palestinian Arabic word which translates to something like ‘It was lit’, or ‘It is burning’, as he jumped several times for joy.
As Abu Sitta’s comrades were heard shouting with excitement, the Israeli tank was seen in the background while fully engulfed by flames.

The image of the celebrating fighter became one of the most iconic scenes in the ongoing Palestinian resistance in Gaza. It came at a time when Paelstinians were anxious over the state of their Resistance, where a few thousand fighters continued to battle a well-equipped Israeli army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
The image of Abu Sitta jumping for joy quickly turned into numerous artistic expressions. For Palestinians, it meant that, despite heavy and unprecedented losses among civilians, the Resistance remained strong.
According to local sources, cited by Al-Jazeera, Abu Sitta was killed when a large crowd of Palestinians was targeted by Israeli bombs near a mosque in the Khan Yunis refugee camp in southern Gaza.' - https://www.palestinechronicle.com/walaat-palestinian-fighter-with-trending-slogan-killed-in-gaza/
Couldn't find the video anywhere. Too threatening, clearly. Can't show anybody having a good time wrecking the military hardware and offing the imperial stormtroopers of the west, can we?
