A Surprising Discovery
Malka's modeling career started in an unusual way. While she was serving in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), a model agent discovered her through her Facebook photos. The IDF is Israel's military, and she was an instructor for a special forces unit.

In 2013, Malka was named one of Israel's top new models. Her career grew even bigger in 2015 when she became the main model for the Italian brand Intimissimi. She led their worldwide campaign, a role that was previously held by famous models like Irina Shayk and Bar Refaeli. The company chose her for her natural beauty.
Personal Life
In 2017, Malka married Israeli actor and model Yehuda Levi. They lived in Tel Aviv. The couple announced their separation in 2021.
In August 2017, Malka was in a serious scooter accident in Tel Aviv. She was badly injured and needed hospital care. After a period of treatment and recovery, she was able to return to her normal life and has since fully recovered.
