Between September 11, 2006 and April 30, 2007 he chaired the Winograd Commission to investigate the failures experienced by Israel during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict. Eliyahu Winograd was born in Tel Aviv in 1926. He attended high school at the Mizrahi Teachers' Training College in Jerusalem, and in 1946 attended the Tel Aviv School of Law and Economics (one of the institutions that would later form Tel Aviv University). He died on January 13, 2018, at age 91. From 1948 to 1950, Winograd served in the Israel Defense Forces, and completed his service as head of the Legal Department of the General Staff, with the rank of Lieutenant. He was granted a law license in July 1952, and worked at the Yizhar Harari and Co law firm until 1960. From 1960 to 1963, he served as the Chief Assistant to the Tel Aviv District Attorney. From April 1963 to 1972, he headed his own law firm. Winograd was appointed as a judge on the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court in 1972, and a judge on the Tel Aviv District Court in May 1977. In 1983, he received a PhD in Law from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
