As far as I know I and G were in Europe thousands upon thousands of years before Illyrians. While almost all I2a-Dinaric subclades today found in the Balkans have TMRCA compatible with 7th century movement of Slavs from the North. Unless Illyrian ancient samples are found containing I2a-Dinaric in the Balkans, most certainly I2a-Dinaric had nothing to do with Illyrians.
On top of that you are analyzing E-V13 saying its a subranch of E-M78, in which you are ignoring 10,000 years of history.
Not sure you know how to interpret YFull data, but better start getting familiar with it.
E-M78 the one that has Levantine/African connection Formed 19kya TMRCA 13.3kya.
E-V13 high likelyhood of Balkan origin, Formed 8.1kya TMRCA 4.9 kya.
Get your facts straight, V13 most likely has nothing to do with Africa.
The fact that you claim I2a Dinaric as Illyrian against all evidence, and cliam V13 as African makes me think you need to update your software to 2021, you are stuck with the Serbian propaganda on genetic forums from 2009 when we had no data against such bs theories.
PS: z2103 found in Maros along with L283, L283 found in Dalmatia, all samples from ~4kya. Likely proto-Illyrian. Now in North Albania, L283 and R1b-PF7563 found from the EBA/MBA/LBA Bronze Age (upcoming paper). If we are talking Illyrians, given the current evidence R1b-z2103 and L283 are pretty much obvious answers. Depending if V13 is found in the next samples to be analyzed from South Albania, they might also fit.
Plus Illyrians were Indo Europeans, meanwhile I and G predated Indo-Europeans, hence try to use logic.
Check the TMRCA of these branches, then check the Indo European expansion timing (Wikipedia: Indo Europeans).
But yeah... just a coincidence.
The only question is where these 3 branches met.
If you want to update your software as to these stuff, with people you might trust better, go to Poreklo, the Serbian forum, those people from the thread I read on L283, seem pretty knowledgeable, it probably applies to other discussions. However I personally do not have time/interest to verify whether there is bias in other discussions, however on L283 the more knowledgeable members seemed on point. Point being give up on the old propagandas from 2009, they are outdated and rejected.
Also if you care, read this thread and find Aspurg's posts, he seems quite knowledgeable on E-V13 and is only marginally biased (dislikes Early Farmers xD) .

I tried looking at the supplements. And only got further confused. They do not have a table with the results. And at some paragraphs they say that they did not test deeper to distinguish I1 or I2, and left the results at I. But the paper itself mentions I2a1(p37.2), however we might have not heard of it since it is not exactly in the the Balkans, speaking in the strict geographical sense.
However, that is beside the point.
These people were autosomaly speaking closest to modern Caucasus people. And to a lesser extend, Iranians/Anatolians.
Further circumstantial evidence I2a1 was picked on their (Early Farmers) movement up north (Unless there is I2a1 in Caucasia I am not aware of xD).
Meaning they had little to do with I2a1(P37.2)b(m406). And predated the term Illyrian by some 3000 years. Furthermore the study further suggests the I2a1 was a minor lineage attributed to Hunter Gatherers from further North/West.
And this is pretty much in line with what we know already: I1/I2 were already in Europe albeit probably South West/Iberia and North (Scandinavia) (think this very paper also mentions that), (which path they took into Europe I do not know, and personally do not have interest to research). Nonetheless these linages were in Europe already when these Early Farmers (G2a) and (H)? brought farming through Anatolia/Levant into the Balkans. Chances are, far up north (Hungary) this I2a1 was incorporated into the farming culture as a minor Hunter Gatherer lineage (given its ratio to G2a and other lines, and where it has been found before, as you can read from the study itself).
Just a look at the tree further supports this. Not such a far fetch speculation.

One expansion seems North West (Germany, England, Ireland, Nordic countries).
While modern Balkan I2a1 pretty much falls under: https://www.yfull.com/tree/I-L621/ With the older branches around Germany/Poland-->Hungary-->Balkans (arrows descending according to TMRCA).
Now, if Illyricum wants to speculate how I* got into Europe, whether from the East (Russia-->Baltics) or South (Anatolia) 27,500 years ago, it his right. I do not have any evidence even to speculate.
All I can say, based on all the evidence I am seeing, almost all I2a1 came into the Balkans from the North in the last 1-1.5k years (compatible with the historically attested Slavic movements south) from around the border of Poland and Germany.
Now if he thinks all I2, a branch with TMRCA of 21,500 years are all the same people, its even more extreme than someone saying an R1b West African and a Frenchmen are the same people. (R1B TMRCA 20k/I2 TMRCA 21.5k) (Check my note on the Starcevo samples being autosomaly closest to modern Caucasus people, and you will get the analogy).
