Israel has never actually declared war on Palestine. If you are referring to a specific war between Israel and Hamas or the general causes of the Israeli Occupation of the West Bank or the Gaza Strip, please ask that question. If this is a general question on the causes of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, please see the Related Question below.
Yes. These are the Arab-Israeli Wars of 1948 and 1967. The 1967 War is also called the Six Day War by both sides.
The British did not rule Palestine during the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, leaving just before the war began. It was actually the British withdrawal from Mandatory Palestine that allowed Israel to declare independence. This declaration, in turn, was what precipitated the Arab invasion of the former British Mandate of Palestine and of Israel specifically. As for why the British were ruling Mandatory Palestine from 1919-1948, this was as a result of the Treaty of Versailles which gave numerous former Ottoman Territories to Great Britain and France to supervise as they organized properly for their future independence.
The war took place primarily in the former Mandate of Palestine with some spillover into Egyptian Sinai and Lebanon.

Israel and Palestine.
The British Departure from Mandatory Palestine, the Establishment of the State of Israel, and the Palestinian Arab Exodus during the 1948-9 Arab-Israeli War are some of the most important events in grounding the Arab-Israeli Conflict.
The latest war was Operation Pillar of Smoke, which was an Israeli Aircraft and missile assault retaliating against Hamas Missile Strikes in Israeli territory which intensified after Israelis targeted the leader of Hamas' militant wing for assassination.
There is a war because the land was originaly Palestine, but was split up after world war 2 to add Israel so that the Jews could have some of the holy land. The Isrealis attacked the Palestinian half of Jerusalem and other Palestinian states because they said the holy city could never be split.This resulted in Palestinians getting kicked out of their homes, but some fought back, and there is still dispute there now. Ask the US why it supports Israel against civilian Palestinians Because the Palestinians are being ruled and abused by the Israeli's and being denied there rightful homeland. The lands they do still have are being taken away from them and Israeli settlements are being built on them.
Syria is independent, but is in a state of civil war. Palestine is quasi-independent because of the Israeli Occupation of the West Bank and the non-recognition of Hamas-controlled Gaza by most countries around the world.
Technically Palestine is'nt a country,it's under israeli occupation but recently got accepted by the U.N as U.N non member observer status. Yes, Palestine is a developing,i guess one can call it country.Its development is severely hindered due to the israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories and restrictions of Palestinian exports and imports. Palestine's development would triple if the israeli restrictions were lifted and the occupation were over.
