"Yalla" is an Arabic word which is the equivalent of "come on," "let's go," "hurry up," etc, etc.
In modern Arabic, many young people say, "Yalla bye" when saying good-bye to each other. There is no direct translation for it, but it means something along the lines of, "Alright, bye." The word "bye" just comes from the English word.
Israelis have picked up this phrase from Palestinian Arabic speakers and have also incorporated this phrase into everyday Hebrew.
