April 30 (Reuters) - An inquiry into the way the Israeli government and military waged last year's Lebanon war is to release an interim report at 5 p.m. (1400 GMT) on Monday that could determine Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's political future.

A five-member commission appointed by the government and headed by former Supreme Court Justice Eliyahu Winograd said the interim findings would contain:

-- An analysis of the period between Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000 after a 22-year occupation until the war against Hezbollah guerrillas was launched in mid-July.

-- An analysis of the decision to embark on a Lebanon campaign after Hezbollah gunmen captured two soldiers in a deadly cross-border raid on July 12 and events in the first six days of fighting.

The committee said the interim report would draw "personal conclusions" with regard to Olmert, Defence Minister Amir Peretz and former armed forces chief Dan Halutz, who has resigned.

Over the weekend, Channel 10 television said the 160-page document would criticise Olmert for "misguided and rash judgment" in launching the campaign. The panel would not call for Olmert to step down, the television station said.

The official document, with some details deleted for national security reasons, will be made public an hour after its classified version is handed to Olmert.

A spokesman for the committee said the interim report and a statement, in Hebrew and in English, from its chairman, would be available on Monday on its Web site, at www.vaadatwino.org.il.
