Drawn-out attack (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

siege

(Other definitions for siege that I've seen before include "Persistent attack" , "Offensive encirclement" , "Military encirclement" , "Act of surrounding a town or fortress" , "Military operation ringing a town" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Newsday.com, the USA Today and the Universal.
