I believe the answer is:

raid

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">rapid surprise attack</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for raid that I've seen before include "Enter a territory and take spoils" , "Sudden short attack" , "A sudden military attack and withdrawal" , "Sally" , "Inroad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Mirror and the Irish Times (Simplex).
