This might be one source of the conspiracy theory, from Veterans Today (VT).
I haven't checked all the details and I'm not saying I agree with it but there's a lot of info that is worth checking out, if possible.
By the way, the shooter's video is easy to find on the net. There is also a lot of discussion concerning inconsistencies in the video, along with some slow motion videos to illustrate. Some people are saying that the shooter's video circulating on the net almost looks like it's staged but it's such a sloppy editing job that's it's too obvious to leave on the net. (They are not saying the shooting never happened). One thing is certain, the inconsistencies are definitely there for anyone to see. The main reason I mention it is because some of these inconsistencies are mentioned in a different context in the VT article and so they might be casually dismissed.
Note that I have not downloaded any of these videos and I have no interest in doing so.
Rather than starting this post with the VT headline and intro, which is a rather inflammatory and could get some readers immediately off side, here's some quotes from further down the page.
VT claims these quotes are from CNN:
"Details have continued to emerge about the extensive travels of the suspected gunman, Brenton Tarrant, before the Christchurch attack.
"CNN has confirmed that Tarrant visited Egypt and Greece in March of 2016, and Turkish state broadcaster TRT reports that he visited Turkey the same month, before returning in September and staying in the country for around seven weeks.
"Local news agencies have also reported that Tarrant visited the Balkan nations of Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia in late 2016 and early 2017.
"In the hate-filled “manifesto” sent to New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern and others shortly before the mosque attacks, Tarrant wrote that his world view had changed dramatically while travelling in Europe in 2017.
"Tarrant visited Bulgaria and Romania in late 2018, Bulgarian Prosecutor General Sotir Tsatsarov told journalists on Friday, according to state news agency BTA. Tsatsarov added that the suspect had a very good knowledge of the region’s history.
"CNN has confirmed that Tarrant also visited Pakistan in October 2018."
VT goes on to say:
"Turkey was added to the visit group after VT announced his 3 visits to Turkey. What is not told is that his Turkish visits coincided with his 6 months in Israel starting in 2018 and involved him exfiltrating from Idlib Province where he was being “blooded” by Israeli backed al Qaeda/al Nusra groups.
"Prior to that, in 2017, he entered Israel and from there, he entered Syria where he, according to Russian Military Intelligence, visited Deraa and then a refugee camp outside al Tanf, where Israel and the US have stationed hundreds of ISIS fighters under cover of refugees.
"This is confirmed by a General in the Russia’s military. Russia is seriously considering confronting the US military in al Tanf.
"Coordinating efforts there is the shadowy FDD, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, whose staff is almost entirely made up of Israeli trained intelligence officers, according to our sources in Syria and Russia.

"Tarrant was in the Rukban camp, and from there traveled to Deraa, where he met with ISIS cells, and then was escorted back to Israel and from there to Turkey where he entered Idlib and met with al Nusra. He transited in and out of ISIS/al Nusra occupied Syria to Turkey 3 times before travelling to Belgrade.
"Background, From Syrian Intelligence:
"Tarrant has been on a watch list since 2012 as an Israeli trained assassin representing a threat to President Assad.
VT then goes on to discuss Tarrant's family history, including some quotes from Israel Today.
