I get my info either from Israeli media or from Israeli news forums that with their high number of participants have at least a few people for every news channel, news agency, radio station, etc. These people post the news, big and small, as soon as they hear them and I translate and pass the interesting ones to Apolyton.
When there is a link, a report or a source within their post, I post it too. When there isnt, I still post. In the past 3 days their credibility was 100% and I see no reason to bother spending precious minutes on looking for major English news sources.

8,000 IRAQI SOLDIERS SURRENDER
WASHINGTON — An entire division of the Iraqi army, numbering 8,000 soldiers, surrendered to coalition forces in southern Iraq Friday, Pentagon officials said.
Iraq's 51st Infantry Division surrendered as coalition forces advanced toward Basra, Iraq's second largest city. The mechanized division had about 200 tanks before the war, according to independent analysts and U.S. officials.
The 51st was one of the better equipped and trained in Iraq's regular army forces and was the key division protecting Basra, a major transportation and oil shipment hub on the Shatt al-Arab waterway that leads to the Persian Gulf.
The division was the largest single unit to surrender en masse on Friday, a day that saw hordes of Iraqi troops give themselves up -- in some cases, to journalists accompanying U.S. units. U.S. forces advancing across southern Iraq often found Iraqi tanks and other weapons abandoned in the desert.
Many of the surrendering Iraqis were demoralized and poorly equipped, with some wearing T-shirts and carrying worn Kalashnikov rifles.
"I kind of felt sorry for them," said one U.S. military official in southern Iraq, speaking on condition of anonymity. "A lot of them looked hungry. They haven't been fed in a while."
The surrender of the 51st removed a major obstacle to the U.S. and British goal of securing all of southern Iraq so forces could focus on the push to Baghdad. U.S. forces also secured the port city of Umm Qasr on Friday.
