@MikeWingert @habahurhahu @hhlahoud I have a feeling it is from the verb HaZia
حَظِيَ
In dialect the Z can be pronounced as D

In dialect it can be used as you mentioned
How did you get/spot him(you were lucky to get him). Not sure it includes the nuance of vision.

In this world of browsing bits of truths, of quick lies, of false claims, broken boundaries, of fleeting victories, only the War is dragging on. Only Killing is never- ending.
