"The rule is you may not hit me. Here is a toy hammer, you may hit this pillow instead."
I often wonder why adults teach kids not to hit, by hitting the kids.
Sounds like a typical 5-year-old, feelings she can't articulate, and acting out because of frustration.
Can you get her to talk about what triggers the hitting? Can you give her a safer alternative outlet for her frustration? My oldest threw mated-socks, hefty enough to fly but soft enough not to harm.
