reinvaded
Crossed borders twice
To reinvade is to invade again—entering by force a second time after a previous invasion.
Countries reinvade territories they once occupied: German forces reinvaded the Rhineland in 1936.
The word implies a return to previously conquered ground, whether military or figurative: Old doubts reinvaded her mind.
