Detailed explanation-2: -Hit-and-run is a favored tactic where the enemy overmatches the attacking force and any sustained combat is to be avoided, such as guerrilla warfare, militant resistance movements, and terrorism.

Detailed explanation-3: -guerrilla warfare, also spelled guerilla warfare, type of warfare fought by irregulars in fast-moving, small-scale actions against orthodox military and police forces and, on occasion, against rival insurgent forces, either independently or in conjunction with a larger political-military strategy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Although originally used to combat foreign invaders, guerrilla warfare has developed into a formidable tool against domestic dictators. One example of guerrilla warfare against a dictator was the Cuban insurrection led by Fidel Castro against President Batista that began in 1956.
