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 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.
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 .
