FacelessJournalists recently got this red alert from the Foreign Press Association:

In recent days the FPA has received a number of separate reports from colleagues in Gaza suggesting a renewed threat to foreign journalists.

These threats come from the Army of Islam and there have been reports of gunmen entering hotels and checking for the presence of foreign journalists.

Dion Nissenbaum notes the consequences:

I have heard, though not confirmed, that some groups are even taking up Hamas on the offer to provide its Executive Force as security when the groups travel around Gaza.
