Spanish term or phrase: arremetida
Un saludo a todas y todos:
Estoy traduciendo el informe de una ONG. Necesitaría su ayuda para encontrar en francés una palabra que traduzca claramente **arremetida** en este contexto (me parece que "assaut" y "bourrade" no traducen correctamente la idea):

"en la zona del cañón de Las Hermosas hubo una **arremetida** de las fuerzas armadas colombianas con el fin de obtener el control de esta zona..."

He pensado en "intensification des combats", ¿es correcto?
Agradezco todas las propuestas.
