Hebrew term or phrase: ״דו באני״
wider context

כל אחד קיבל מזרן, הניח אותו על הרצפה והנה שכבנו כבר ונחנו. אך לא נתנו לנו לנוח זמן רב. ״דו באני״. הלכנו לבית־ המרחץ והתרחצנו במים רותחים ממש והתנגבנו במגבות נקיות


Is this a Russian expression?

Thanks!

Explanation:
до бани in Russian means "to the bath(s)".

Interestingly, in Polish, "do bani" is a slang expression for "it sucks", but that is not likely what he is saying here.
