OH, don't be ridiculous.
(COMMENT)Five Arab nations invaded territory in the former Palestinian mandate
That would be Palestine not Israel.
We call this type of quibbling to be untruthful.
(QUESTIONS)
• Are you saying that this did not happen?
• You are saying that no elements of the Arab League Forces entered into the territory declared independent by the Israeli Provisional Government?
* Are you saying that the Arab League DID NOT attempt to use Military Force to deny Israel the principle of equal rights and self-determination (Article 1(2) UN Charter)?
• Are you saying that the Arab League DID NOT used Military Force in an attempt to against the Provisional Government of Israel in an attempt to take control of the territory outlined in UN General Assembly Resolution 181 (II) and prevent its implementation?
You can quibble with the words: and pretend that your quibbling has some meaning. But in reality, you and others like you, do no great service to the Pro-Arab Palestinian Cause by attempting to alter the historical reality.
If you are arguing that the Arab League had some legal authority to marshal forces, and deploy them beyond their sovereignty and borders, into the territory for which the Allied Powers had been given title and rights, --- formerly under the Mandate for Palestine --- then state the case.

Israel claimed independence on Palestinian land. When was that land ceded to Israel?

The Avalon Project : The Palestine Mandate
The Palestine Mandate
The Council of the League of Nations:
Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have agreed, for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, to entrust to a Mandatory selected by the said Powers the administration of the territory of Palestine, which formerly belonged to the Turkish Empire, within such boundaries as may be fixed by them; and
Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country; and
Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country; and
Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have selected His Britannic Majesty as the Mandatory for Palestine; and
Whereas the mandate in respect of Palestine has been formulated in the following terms and submitted to the Council of the League for approval; and
Whereas His Britannic Majesty has accepted the mandate in respect of Palestine and undertaken to exercise it on behalf of the League of Nations in conformity with the following provisions; and
Whereas by the afore-mentioned Article 22 (paragraph 8), it is provided that the degree of authority, control or administration to be exercised by the Mandatory, not having been previously agreed upon by the Members of the League, shall be explicitly defined by the Council of the League Of Nations;
confirming the said Mandate, defines its terms as follows:
The present instrument shall be deposited in original in the archives of the League of Nations and certified copies shall be forwarded by the Secretary-General of the League of Nations to all members of the League.
