Doesn't appear so: "The Illyrians were Indo-European tribesmen who appeared in the western portion of the Balkan Peninsula about 1000 B.C., a period coinciding with the end of the Bronze Age and beginning of the Iron Age. They inhabited much of the area for at least the next millennium. Archaeologists associate the Illyrians with the Hallstatt culture, an Iron Age people noted for production of iron and bronze swords with winged-shaped handles and for domestication of horses. The Illyrians occupied lands extending from the Danube, Sava, and Morava rivers to the Adriatic Sea and the Sar Mountains. At various times, groups of Illyrians migrated over land and sea into Italy, such as the Messapians and Iapyges."

So they did wander a bit, but not as far as Palestine.

Most likely those where traders and merchants that sail down for trading. The Illyrian stay ard the balkan peninsula for quite a long time. They were only conquered by the Macedon army and the Roman army. Thus it suggest that they never migrate that far.
