Yes. These are the Arab-Israeli Wars of 1948 and 1967. The 1967 War is also called the Six Day War by both sides.
Did Palestine become the country of Israel after the World War 2?
Yes and No. The Mandate of Palestine was merely the British Name for the land they occupied in the Southwestern Levantine region of the Middle East. There was no nation of Palestine or independent Governate of Palestine at any point in the prior 2000 years. When the Jewish population of the Mandate of Palestine declared independence, they used the name Israel to denote their country. The Arab residents of the British Mandate preferred to continue using the name Palestine to represent themselves. The majority of the Mandate's land ended up in Israeli hands in 1949, but some parts were under Arab control. It is these Arab areas that will likely form the basis of the Palestinian State.

Why did the British rule Palestine in the Arab-Israeli War of 1948?
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.

As the Jewish population in Palestine attacked Arab families, evicting them from newly made Jewish neighborhoods, the Arab states invaded. It could be contended that Israel knew that the war was coming and had to defend itself - and couldn't risk a fifth column.
