Ben-Asa, Hanan

Son of-Eliezer and Martha. He was born on the 25th of Kislev 5708 (25.11.1947) in Holon. He attended the David Remez Elementary School in Kiryat Shalom, the David Shimoni School in Givatayim and the Ort High School in Givatayim, and was a member of the Maccabee Youth Movement in Ramat Gan. He then moved to the agricultural high school in Kfar Galim, where he actively participated in the Gadna activities, and was a lively, cheerful, Simcha and smiling boy, but he was a sensitive boy. To the IDF at the end of May 1965. After a short period of time, he was sent to a course for squad commanders and was injured in the ankle. However, this injury did not prevent him from completing the course successfully. He was accepted to the Infantry Officers Course, but in the middle of the course he was forced to stop him because of the old ankle injury. He was hospitalized. During the period of his recovery, he stayed at an absorption and sorting base, where he underwent the Six-Day War. He strove to go back to the officers’ course and finish and do all he could to fulfill that ambition. In the end he succeeded, finishing a basic officer’s course. His tempestuous mood did not allow him to settle for the administrative completion course. He wanted a combat job. The fact that he did not take an active part in the Six-Day War greatly hurt him, so he decided that after his discharge from the IDF he would give his part in the front and he went to work in Sinai, near the Canal. He was brought to rest in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul, and after his fall his parents published a booklet of his own songs called “Neurim”.
