Freed Palestinian prisoner Ibtisam Esawi is greeted by relatives and friends after her release from an Israeli jail in the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Jabal al-Mukaber on October 19, 2011. The Palestinian Hamas movement exchanged Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier who spent more than five years of isolation in a Gaza hide-out, for hundreds of Palestinian militants being held in Israeli jails.
