The inhabitants of the kingdom of Israel were deported out of that land by the Assyrians in 722 BC. None of them returned to that land. No genocide was performed on them, so they're still around today.

OK, I was aware of your first two sentences. How do you know they were not subject to genocide, since they disappeared from recorded history?

And assuming they were not, sure their descendants are around today, but how do you know they are not so intermixed with other people that they are indistiguishable as ethnic groups? Maybe today's Iranians, Iraqis, and Syrians are descended from the lost tribes as well as numerous other sources.
