This novel looks into war-torn Israel, which highlights an Arab doctor who possesses dual citizenship and looks for healing even as he is amidst the pain of random suicide bombers with warring parties still at each other’s throats. Dr. Amin Jaafari works well in order to lessen the suffering of others, where they return home to a life of contentment with his wife, Sihem. Beginning with a rocket attack, the street was full of the wounded as well as the dying. The scene changes into the hospital in Tel Aviv, where Dr. Jaafari and his coworkers try to save the lives of the victims of the suicide bomber. Then, his wife Sihem is not home when Jaafari returns, prompting him to think that she may have stayed with her grandmother. Yet, there is more to what he sees outright. The day after, someone informed him that his wife could have been the suicide bomber. He is asked to identify her remains. At this point, he realizes that his wife may have been the bomber, and he cannot accept this fact. The reign of the absurd has caused violence, and the setting of the story adds tremor and drama to it. Jaafari is lost in a country where there is violence and abject conditions, and he is at a loss as to how to behave. The setting lends drama to each of the scenes that are important in the story. The risks of sudden and unconventional means of attack from the enemy are also manifest in such sort of war. Vietnam countryside, which was the arena of conflict, was plagued with different sorts of booby traps that claimed the lives of several American soldiers. Despite the difference in terrain, Iraq, too, is littered with traps of such nature, such as roadside bombs aimed at U.S. military vehicles. More fearful is the sort of dedication of the enemy to resort suicide bombers to wound the U.S. ground forces in Iraq. Yasmina Khadra happens to be a pseudonym for Mohamed. The setting in The Attack is not so delineated in the novel. The narrator is able to maintain his objectivity even if he is in the midst of the raging Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Being a Palestinian with Israeli citizenship, Dr. Amin Jaafari is a successful surgeon who receives a lot of awards for his great contribution in the field where he excels. Amin considers the chaos as senseless and meaningless because he does not believe in violence and bloodshed. First and foremost, he is a healer since he has pursued being a doctor. He does not support the war, and he is also able to choose whatever side he so chooses. For some people, Amin is a traitor, and even his neighbors feel the same. He does not like his surroundings and sometimes refuses to recognize his own existence. He is determined to understand how his wife could keep things from him. In a certain way, the setting parallels the empty life of Khadra as well as the emptiness and meaninglessness of people living at this time. War is seen as devastating all lives and properties, and it is not too strange that Khadra ends up shedding light on both sides. Khadra has strong and vehement views about violence, citing through his main character.
