We have a saying in Hebrew:

״עוד ניצחון כזה ואבדנו״

It's not a Hebrew saying, it's a Roman saying, after they narrowly won over Carthago: a pyrrhic victory

Your saying channels the concept of the Pyrrhic victory. According to Plutarch, after the battle of Asculum, Pyrrhus, King of Epirus, said to someone who was congratulating him: "If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined."
