A major twist in the investigation of two NSW nurses who were filmed during a rant claiming they would kill Israeli patients has been revealed.

Ahmed Rashid Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh were sacked from NSW Health after the video went viral worldwide.

However, it has since been revealed by 7NEWS that police allegedly found a vial of morphine in Nadir’s personal locker at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital in Sydney’s southwest.

It’s understood Nadir allegedly asked a former colleague to empty his locker.

But that staff member claimed they felt uncomfortable and instead called the police.

The vial was seized by police and is expected to form part of the investigation into the nurses, 7NEWS reported.

Israeli content creator, Max Veifer, uploaded the full unedited video, which shows the nurses threatening to kill Israelis, to his Instagram on Friday morning.

Mr Veifer often uses Chatruletka and Omegle, online platforms that pair users in random video chats, to expose instances of anti-Semitism and also to learn English.

The two nurses were recorded for a full two-and-a-half minutes, by Mr Veifer when they appeared on the chat.

“Ahh,” Mr Nadir says. “I’m gonna be really honest with you, you’ve actually got really, really beautiful eyes.

“But I’m so upset that you’re Israeli … eventually you’re gonna get killed and you’re gonna go to Jahannam (hell). But those pretty eyes they should stay in this world for longer.”

The exchange quickly gets heated as Mr Veifer explains he served in the IDF (Israeli Defense Force).

A woman’s voice can then be heard off camera saying: “because you killed innocent people”.

The woman’s voice responds: “So you kill innocent people to protect your country? What kind of soul do you have? You have no soul.”

Mr Veifer asked then asked the pair: “How are you doctors?”

“Listen to me, listen to me,” she says. “When your time comes, I want you to remember my face so you can understand that you will die the most disgusting death.”

Mr Veifer then begins to ask “Let’s say an Israeli, God forbid …”

“I won’t treat them I’ll kill them,” Ms Abu Lebdeh says. “Not God forbid, I hope to God.”

“You’ll kill them?” Mr Veifer is heard asking.

Mr Nadir then said: “OK you have no idea how many Israeli haram dogs came to this hospital and (makes throat slitting motion) I send them to Jahannam.”

“For real? If just Jewish people comes (sic) there …” Mr Veifer begins before the chat is ended.

It comes after officers from Strike Force Pearl reportedly raided the home of Mr Nadir on Friday night, just hours after he was hospitalised.

NSW Police confirmed in a statement that the property had been searched and a number of items had been seized. No arrests have been made.

Mr Nadir was taken to hospital on Thursday night over mental health concerns.

NSW Police said a 27-year-old man “was taken to hospital for assessment” after officers received “reports of a concern for welfare” about 8.55pm.

Mr Nadir and Ms Abu Lebdeh had remained holed up inside their homes in Bankstown and Greenacre, in Sydney’s southwest, and reportedly refused to be voluntarily interviewed by police.

A family member of one of the nurses had claimed they had been “set up” and the full video would show that.
