What were the effects of the Israeli Declaration of Independence?
In 1948, when the British announced the end of the Mandate, the Jewish Settlement used the opportunity and the legal avenue opened by UNGA Resolution 181 (II) to issue the Israeli Declaration of Independence. The effect was that the day after, seven Arab armies from neighboring countries joined with the Arab Militias already fighting against the Jewish Settlement within former Mandatory Palestine. As the fighting progressed, Israel was able to repel the invaders and claim about 78% of British Mandate of Palestine as the grounds of their new state. The War is considered by most to be an Israeli Victory, not only because Israel survived the war, but actually retained control over more territory after the ceasefire than it would have had if the Arabs had accepted UNGA Resolution 181 (II).

What year was Israel granted statehood and started the war for independence or the Catastrophe?
Jewish leaders were granted autonomy over a portion of land by an affirmative
majority vote of the UN General Assembly in November, 1947. They declared the
sovereign state of Israel in May, 1948. At that point, Israel was independent, and
there was no war to make it so.
The event was deemed a catastrophe (small 'c') by Israel's neighbors, who welcomed
the new nation into the community of nations with a united invasion by their massed
armies. The subsequent war was one of survival on the part of Israel, and succeeded
in its purpose.
What is the role of religion in israel?
Modern Israel:
Israeli law today is not based on the Torah; it's a blend of Ottoman laws, British laws, and others. However, Jewish laws do still have an effect:
When Israel chose a national day of rest for schools and businesses, it chose Saturday (the Jewish Sabbath), not Sunday. Sunday is a full workday in Israel.
Many official functions are catered with kosher food. To purchase pork in Israel, or leavened bread on Passover, a person would have to make a serious search.
Torah-holidays such as Passover and Sukkot are celebrated everywhere, not just in private. Hanukkah-menorahs are often displayed outdoors.
Israeli coins have no human likenesses on them.
The majority of marriages and funerals are at least nominally religious.
Modern Israel uses the Hebrew calendar as well as the Gregorian one.
These are a few examples.

How have people changed their environment in Israel?
Israel has seen massive environmental changes in the last century due in no small part to the Jewish Settlers who came to the land. The area in the north of Israel was populated with eucalyptus trees to stabilize the soil and convert marshy-swampland into typical farmland. Water-pipes carrying water from the Sea of Galilee to the Negev Desert in the south of Israel have allowed for limited horticulture in that region where before it was impossible. The carrying capacity of Israel also increased by over 400% in the last century. (Just to give an idea, in 1947, there were around 1.1 million inhabitants of British Palestine and now Israel alone has over 7 million citizens.) The growth of cities, likewise, has turned barren, unoccupied, or farm regions into integral parts of cities and their subculture.

The West Bank and the Gaza Strip are now Palestinian territories in?
...the Middle East. Specifically, the Gaza Strip is independent as a Hamas-controlled statelet and the West Bank is under Israeli Occupation.
If you are referring to the event wherein the Assyrians scattered the Ten Lost Tribes of the Kingdom of Israel, the event was not uncommon in those days. The underlying idea was that people were very land-driven and community-driven. If a person was taken away from his community and his land, he would become more docile and less likely to revolt against Assyrian authority. Most peoples, like Arameans, Ugaritic, Hittite, and other nations that were similarly defeated were similarly scattered. The only reason we remember Israel is that the Southern Kingdom of Judah, which shared an origin story with the Northern Kingdom of Israel, was not conquered and disbursed by the Assyrians.

almost 1,900 years, until it was re-established in 1948.
