Center for Special Studies, was founded in 2001, according to the account on its own website.[1] It is an Israeli think tank headed by Reuven Erlich, a retired colonel in US military intelligence. There is however, some doubt about the date of its founding. A 'What's on' guide in the magazine Flight International (21 January 1989) lists an event at the 'Centre for Special Studies in Memory of the Fallen of Israel's Intelligence Community, Gelilot, North Tel Aviv, Israel. Contact: A. Lewis, ISAS secretariat, PO Box 574, Jerusalem 91004, Israel.'[2] This location is the same as that given in 2005 of the current Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center ('near Gelilot , north of Tel Aviv').[3]

The think tank is reported to have "close ties with the country's military leadership and maintains an office at the Defense Ministry".[4] As of 2007 the center appears to have been renamed as the Israel Intelligence Heritage & Commemoration Center, though its main outlet the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center has retained its name.[5]

On December 5, 2006, a 300-page report produced by its Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center was passed to the US media through the American Jewish Congress. The study was undertaken to rebuff war crimes allegations over Israel's bombing and destruction of residential areas in Lebanon. The report was compiled 'in conjunction with lawyers from the army and Foreign Ministry'.[6]
