Rafi Malka is a former Shin Bet officer who served as head of the Operations Division, head of Administration Division, and head of Protection in Europe.[1]
Bus 300 Affair
His retirement in the mid-1980s was prompted by the 1984 Bus 300 Affair.[2] Along with Reuven Hazak and Peleg Radai, he was suspended by Shin Bet chief Avraham Shalom in the recriminations which followed the case.[3] The 1986 Karp Commission ruled that Malka, Hazak and Radia told the truth in their allegations against Shalom.[4]
The Shin Bet officer who supervised the Bus 300 killings, codenamed 'Yod' in the Israeli media, was subsequently promoted to Malka's old position.[5] This was presumably Ehud Yatom.
Labour role
In 1988, Ha'aretz reported that the Israeli Labour party had hired three former Shin Bet agents Malka, Peleg Radai and Reuven Hazak, allegedly to spy on Likud. Labour claimed that only two men, Radai and Malka, had been hired, and only to provide security for data banks and property.[6]
Rabin Commission
Malka served on the internal Shin Bet Commission appointed to investigate the 1995 assassination of Yitzhak Rabin.[1]
