Eliahu Itzkovitz (Hebrew: 'אליהו איצקוביץ; 1932 - 2015) was a Romanian Jew of Moldavian descent who, while a prisoner in a concentration camp during the Second World War, witnessed the murder of his family at the hands of a Romanian prison guard named Stănescu. Itzkovitz vowed to avenge his family's murder but was unable to find the murderer after the war. He subsequently emigrated to Israel and served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) until he learned that Stănescu had enlisted in the French Foreign Legion, thus leading him to desert from the IDF and join the Foreign Legion. Itzkovitz was able to track down and kill Stănescu in French Indochina. He was later court-martialed in Israel for desertion and sentenced to one year in prison.
