I am a rabbit owner and have often pondered this question myself. I recently found the answer after visiting my local vet. If the enemies is nearby the rabbit will freeze and pretend to be invisible, at the right moment the rabbit will run at immense speed to saftey. However if the rabbit is acctually being attacked they will use there back legs to violently kick the predator or bite them with their teeth. A rabbit will also scratch or dig on the enemy to hurt it and warn it away.

Rabbits may thump their hind legs against the ground in order to warn others about predators. They may also do this in reaction to loud noises.
Rabits are herbivores- they eat plants. They do not HAVE prey. Their hearing helps them detect predators that would make the rabbits THEIR prey.
I think you mean predators. If a rabbit has a burrow then it will probably hide in there. Otherwise, behind big bushes or plants.
