The Independence War started on May 15, 1948. This war can be known as the Independence War or the War of Liberation. This war was the first of many wars fought between Israelis and Arab neighbors. The war started upon the death of the British Mandate of Palistine, this is also known as the taking over of Palestine and creating the country of Israel. The five Arab states that attacked Israel were Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Syria. Israel overcame the odds like the six day war, and came out victorious. The war finally ended January 7, 1949.
