1947–48 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine
The
1947–48 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine
was the first phase of the
1948 Palestine war
. It broke out after the
General Assembly
of the
United Nations
adopted a resolution on 29 November 1947 recommending the adoption of the
Partition Plan for Palestine
. When the
British Mandate of Palestine
expired on 14 May 1948, and with the
Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel
, the surrounding Arab states,
Egypt
,
Transjordan
,
Iraq
and
Syria
invaded what had just ceased to be Mandatory Palestine, and immediately attacked Israeli forces and several Jewish settlements. The conflict then turned into the
1948 Arab–Israeli War
