I don’t think they were (at least initially) Phoenicians. The Phoenicians called themselves Canaanites and had moved from the Persian gulf around 2000 BC. The Philistines had a non-Semitic base, but what that base was is open for debate. They most definitely got assimilated with the local Semites (Judeans or Canaanites).
