Since the martyr shouted the word “I love you,” it has become the norm for Gazans to express their joy over the scenes broadcast by the resistance of operations to confront and confront the occupation army in the areas of its ground incursion into the south and north of the Gaza Strip.

In the streets, homes, and shelter centers, Gazans’ shouts of this word rise with takbir and applause, as they watch the resistance’s missile volleys launching from the Gaza Strip toward Israeli towns, or whenever news comes of the resistance’s success in ambushing the occupation army on the front lines of the incursion.

A few days ago, the young Palestinian Muhannad Rizq Muhammad Jibril, who coined the famous phrase “Come on, Duwairi,” was martyred in direct confrontations with the occupation army in Gaza.

The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades - the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) - published a video of targeting an Israeli force with an anti-fortified missile in the Juhr al-Dik area, east of the Central Governorate in the Gaza Strip. After the Qassam fighter fired his missile, he celebrated his success in targeting the house in which the occupation soldiers were barricaded with the phrase, “Analyze.” Oh Douiri,” he called on the military expert, Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi, to analyze his operation on Al Jazeera.
