The Palestinian Arabs and Jewish Militias were already embroiled in a civil war as early as 1946 (but primarily in 1947) before the conflict widened to be an international Arab-Israeli War. Most Palestinians fled either because of fear of Jewish/Israeli retaliation, incitement by community leaders, or generally a desire to be away from the conflict. After the war, Palestinians see the events of the 1947-1949 Jewish-Arab Engagement as the Nakba (Great Catastrophe).

How many Israelis have been killed by Arabs since 1850?
It is unclear what an "Israeli" is prior to 1948 as there was no state of Israel before that point. If the term "Israeli" is also pushed back to the forerunners of the State, the Zionist Palestinian Jewry, it still only goes back to conflicts in the early 1920s. Additionally, many non-Zionist Palestinian Jews and Palestinian Arabs would also have descendants who would be Israeli citizens. Between all of the various wars and riots since the 1920s, roughly 25,000 Israelis and Palestinian Jews were killed at Arab hands (either Palestinian Arabs or Arabs from other countries). Prior to 1920s, the numbers would been incidental.

Who was the former leader of Palestine?
In early 1948, Mandatory Palestine was under British authority. Sir Alan Cunningham was the last British High Commissioner of Palestine and Transjordan until May of 1948 when that position was abolished. Throughout the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, the territory of the former Mandate of Palestine was either under Israeli control or under the control of armies from other Arab nations. If the question is asking if the Palestinian Arabs had a leader, the issue is more complicated. Unlike the Zionists, the Palestinian Arabs were much less unified and organized. There were three main leaders that held sway: Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni, Haj Amin al-Husseini, and Fawzi al-Qawuqji. Of them, al-Hussayni probably had the most legitimacy, but he died in late 1948 and had limited political connections. Qawuqji was the least legitimate, being ethnically Syrian, and because of how soundly he was defeated in 1948, he had no traction. Al-Husseini came the closest to creating a Palestinian state, but he also had no mind for creating a political establishment. There was also very little Palestinian civil society for him to reach out to in order to create a state.
