Released Palestinian prisoners read Holy Koran at the tomb of the late Palestinian President Yasser Arafat in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2011. Hamas agreed to release Israeli soldier Galit Schalit in exchange for 1,027 Palestinian prisoners, many of them serving life sentences for deadly attacks on Israelis.
