"We approached the shop display and saw them. It was insanely disgusting," Yehuda said, as quoted by the The Times of Israel.

The revelation should prompt the Israeli Ministry of Health to launch a detailed inspection, according to the Israeli news outlet Maariv.
After the incident, the Domino's chain apologised and closed the branch to address sanitary issues.
Domino's said that construction work was being carried out nearby, and claimed that a large number of rodents had appeared in the district as a result.
