2 year old aggressive to other children, help

I had twins 4 months ago, so appreciate there's been alot of change for my 2 year old. Suppose lockdown pretwins hasn't helped as she hasn't seen anyone for 3 months before they came. I've tried to do regular play dates last few months, going to soft plays to get her used to being around other toddlers. Getting out with the twins has been challenging enough in the first place, but she's been pulling kids hair and scratching faces without warning for no reason. I've seen kids have tantrums before but not be aggressive to other kids without warning. Finding it really hard to deal with, I remove her tell her it's wrong to hurt people and make her apologise but then she does it again. After a second time we've taken her home but it's getting ridiculous being places 5 minutes before going home. Especially if your paying to go in places, and loading twins in the car and trying to time it all around feeds. At my wits end with it all, i feel anxious everytime we go somewhere with other kids and I'm finding it impossible to feed twins when having to go and stop her from hitting and hair pulling when out, or having to leave immediately. Has anyone had anything similar? Is it normal? Does it pass? How do you deal with it?

She isn't old enough to have impulse control and she doesn't understand what sorry means really either.

You need to model what is expected and if you really really can't keep enough of an eye til the twins are older, then don't put her in that situation
