On the evidence, no, although traditional beliefs among the Falasha Jews is that they are from the tribe of Dan.
A 1999 study of the DNA of 38 unrelated Beta Israel (Falasha Jew) males living in Israel and 104 Ethiopians living in regions located north of Addis Ababa demonstrated that the male ancestry of Falasha Jews was from Ethiopia, not Palestine.
A 2002 study of Mitochondrial DNA (which is passed through only maternal lineage to both men and women) showed that the most common mtDNA type found among the Ethiopian Falasha sample was present only in Somalia. Thus the female ancestry of Falasha Jews was also not from Palestine.
The ancestors of Falasha Jews were converts to the religion.

Are ethiopians Jews?
Some of them are. The Falasha of Ethiopia self-identify as Jews and have many Jewish traditions. There's plenty of evidence of small groups of Jews fleeing south into Africa after various disruptions. The Lemba, a group spread across southern Africa, has both oral history and genetic arguments to show that they are connected to a group of Yemenite Jews who fled south during a war in that region. The Ethiopian community is older, its folklore is less clear, but they have more Jewish traditions.There are some who hold that Ethiopia as a whole was Christianized and that today's Ethiopian Jews originated as a Judaizing sect of Christians. The Falasha reject this theory out of hand.
Who were the Falasha and how did they preserve their culture?
Jewish Ethiopians. The Falasha call themselves House of Israel and claim descent from Menilek I, son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Probably descended from local Agew peoples converted by Jews in southern Arabia, they remained faithful to Judaism after the Ethiopian kingdom was converted to Christianity in the 4th century . Persecuted by Christians, they settled in the area around Lake Tana in northern Ethiopia. Though ignorant of the Talmud, members adhered strictly to the Mosaic law and observed some festivals of Judaism.
