Yeah they did a bunch of samples on Kerkouane and found the exact same thing. a lot of the samples came from Siciliy and other parts of the European Mediterranean regions

>Our results suggest that the Punic demographic expansion was primarily driven by the spread of people with Aegean-like ancestry. We conclude this because the dominant ancestry observed in our Punic dataset matches the ancestry observed in Bronze Age Aegean and Sicilian populations, and Bronze and Iron Age Sicilians in turn derived a large proportion of their ancestry from Aegean populations due to expansions in the Middle to Late Bronze Age and Iron Age.

Keep in mind, the elite was probably even more european/med. hannibal definitely did not look like a nafri.
basically the punic wars were just a inter italian fight. the only role of berbers was to be slaves and mercenaries for their sicilian overlords.
