Al-Hakim switched his approach to the Jarrahids from diplomacy to punitive military force in August 1013.[12] Ali and Mahmud surrendered to the advancing Fatimid army, while al-Hakim had Mufarrij poisoned to death.[2] Hassan, whose ambition was to rule Palestine, fled but later gained a pardon from al-Hakim, who restored to him Mufarrij's iqtaʿat in Palestine.[1] Afterward, Hassan assisted al-Hakim in his expeditions against Aleppo.[1]
