HELP!! My betta is attacking my snails

So the title says it all but for alittle background I’ve had this beta for about three months now. When I first got her she used attack one of my plants. I noticed her “body ramming” it for a couple of days then stopped. I did have her with other nano fish but they swam too fast and would steal all of her food. So I removed and placed them in another tank. She never had problems with fish. Now for the snails they just randomly showed up one day (about 1.5 months after adding the plants). I did dip my plants before adding them, Ig I didn’t do it right🤷‍♀️. Now flash forward to last night where I see her attacking the snail. This seems completely different from her attacking the plant. Like her checks like flare up, she hitting it so hard that you can hear it, she’ll literally come up for air and then back to attack mode. Today I got it on video, I will be attaching video. What should I do?

Edit: wow y’all blew this up while I was at work. I see that most of the comments are saying that she is actually a male. Which is upsetting to me bc I wanted tamale for this exact reason. Second everyone is saying to add more plants. That was always the plan then I lost my job. I just started working again so hopefully I can get more here in the near future. You guys should comment your favorite plant. I really want some red root floaters but can seem to find any around me.
