While there are different contexts in which the term invasion also is used (medicine, for example), the most commonly meant reference is to the military dimension of the term.

An invasion can be the cause of a war, be a part of a larger strategy to end a war, or it can constitute an entire war in itself. Due to the large scale of the operations associated with invasions, they are usually strategic in planning and execution. |
Also, invasion troops usually are of considerable strength, and they take land in order
to hold it for longer than just some hours or days. Poland, normandy, Falklands, Iraq, that were invasions. Commandos crossing the border in hiding to hunt down smugglers and then returning home, may or may not be hostile to the nation they enter, but I do not see that action as qualifying for a description of being an invasion.
