Hassan, along with his father and brother, organized with other residents for self-defense. Later, the family collaborated with members of the "Hagana" organization from the settlement of Yagur in their struggle against the gangs of Mufti Hajj Amin al-Husseini.
Due to their involvement, a bounty was declared on his head and that of his brother.
On November 22, 1938, during an intelligence mission by the "Hagana" from Isfaia to Ligur, Hassan fell. His burial place is unknown. He left behind his parents and four siblings.
He was later recognized as a martyr in the Israeli military, and his name is commemorated on a monument in the military cemetery in Isfahan.
