Raid (military)

A raid is like a game of Tag. When playing Tag, one person is "it" and tries to touch the other people who are running around to avoid getting tagged. A raid is like this, but instead of playing a game, it happens in real life and can be very dangerous.

So, let's imagine that there is a big, strong country called Country A, and they are not happy with another country called Country B. They want to show Country B that they are strong and can attack them if they want to. That's where a raid comes in.

A raid is when a group of soldiers from Country A sneaks into Country B without warning or permission. They try to cause damage to the other country's property or people, and then quickly return to their own country before being caught.

The soldiers might sneak into Country B by climbing over walls, swimming across rivers, or flying in helicopters. They might use weapons like guns or bombs to cause damage, or they might try to steal important things like computers or documents.

Raids are often used to gather intelligence, meaning information that can help Country A understand what Country B is doing and prepare for any future attacks. The soldiers might try to capture important people or documents that can help them learn about the other country's plans.

So, a raid is like a game of Tag, but with soldiers and real-life consequences. It's a way for one country to show its power to another country and gather information to help protect itself in the future.
