None- it was the Arabs that attacked the state iof Israel so there wa sno "Zionist invasion", only a newly declared country, with no standing army and very little hardware, facig five countries with large armies and the plenty of equipment- and Israel won!
So no Arabs died in a "Zionist invasion" - about 5000 Arabs died in an Arab invasion of Israel

There was no "Zionist invasion" of Palestine in 1948. There was an attempt by Arab countries to exterminate all the Jews who were legally granted their state by United Nation mandate in 1948, and were beaten with terrific losses. Zionist invasion indeed. Read more objective history books, not those in the Syrian or Egyptian libraries. Peace.

You got it backwards. Six Arab armies invaded Israel in 1948! By the way you might be interested in knowing that only a small piece of the former British Mandate of Palestine became the State of Israel. Most of it became the Kingdom of Jordan. Palestine is not even an Arab word.

No one seems to have kept numbers. However, about 6000 Zionists/Israelis were killed (approximately 2000 of them considered "civilians," i.e. not officially members of a militia). There were approximately 4-5 times as many massacres by Zionists as by Arabs, mostly of civilians, extrapolation would make around 8,000 to 10,000 Arab civilian deaths. Figures range from a few thousand to 15,000 (not separating civilian from military), the Jewish virtual library puts the number of Arab military deaths at about 5,000.
According to Zionist historian Benny Morris, between 2,700 and 5000 Palestinian refugees were killed attempting to return home in the years after war as well.

I think you will find that the Zionist "invaded" their homeland in about the late 1920s and early 1930s. In 1948, they won their independence from England and not for the Palestinians or Arabs.

Not an exceptional amount, but after Israel was established, the treatment of Arab refugees by Israeli soldiers was absolutely horrendous. Few recognize this, but the claim of Israel was made by two things: The power of the Gun, and the claim that Israel was gifted by Adonai (Jewish God). So what about the Arabs living in there? Israeli attitude was simply that they were not people. Yet, this comment would be (and still is) considered anti-semite. I don't hate Jews, but the holocaust does not justify shoving people living in a land for some 200 years into refugee camps and mistreating them. Israel can claim Adonai gave them the land, but not everyone believes in Adonai. The current spate of suicide bombers is a direct result of the policies that Israel pursued in the early years of its formation. "Reap what you sow" A fitting phrase for the current situation.

None - There was no Zionist invasion. It was a bunch of Jewish guys.

Anywhere from 5000-15000 depending on the source.

Many thousands of arabs were killed by the jewish terrorists and others fled for their lives to neighboring arab countries where they have been living as refugees ever since.
Israel is the most successful terrorist state in the world.

The Palestinians who lived there were displaced from their homes and put in camps that were supposed to be temporary.
