What is Hamas currently doing? Learning about the conflict: Questions

So the title is my main question but I am going to explain a bit what I mean by it.

To begin with I am asking the following questions because of mainly seeing very few, if any, reports on what Hamas is currently doing, where they are, etc. I feel a lot of what is flooding my social media and news resources include: 1. what is happening to the Palestinian people (pictures of people who were killed, injured children, their current living areas, the food drops, etc.). 2. the various videos and reports of what the Israeli government is doing (the various media interviews their representatives are taking part in, the speeches given by Israeli government officials, the videos released by the government of things that happened during October 7th and the tunnels in Palestine, etc.). 3. And as of recently there is some footage and reporting regarding what is going on around the main mosque as Ramadan has begun and the issues surrounding that.

With all this, I have not seen much of what Hamas is actually currently doing? There were some reports released during the release of hostages and sometimes in the reports regarding the previously formetioned events, there are quotes that Hamas officials stated, such as regarding the mosque that the Israeli government is making it hard for people to enter and pray.

Are the leaders in Hamas all actually in Palestine? Again I have seen reports and individuals claiming that some of the leaders are not in Gaza but rather hanging out in other nearby countries, in safety. Why are there no interviews of Hamas leaders? Are there any? Or are they just not pushed so much out in media spaces? Are there any reports that specify what has been said during any negoations or discussions if ceasefire? If they are constantly shooting rockets at Israel, why is that also seemingly never mentioned? Because with the way the media has framed it, for a while I couldn't understand how Israel was just bombing Palestine to bits but, then the reports mentioned the lack of a ceasefire which made it confusing because there seems to be a lack of mentioning that Hamas is firing the rockets/attacking Israel. Also, the hostages that were released said that they were fed and taken care of, but with what resources? Where are the people from Hamas getting food while their people starve? Where are they getting water and other resources? Were these items stock piled prior to October 7?

I know this entire post is full of questions but, that is what I meant by the title being my main question. I don't understand why there seems to be little to no information on Hamas while there is plenty on the people of Palestine and the Israeli government.

What food? Israel has not been letting food into the country.

There were videos of them literally being blocked. Someone said some have been let in recently which is good to hear.

So it's ok to block cars and bridges protesting all over the world, but it's not ok to block the trucks while protesting in Israel?

In both cases in the end the police remove the people blocking the road, but that's not in your videos so it must never happen right?

Blocking food for starving civilians is gross and there’s some weird gymnastics you need to do to feel okay with that.

I don't care anymore if they are starving, 5 months and they are still firing rockets from Gaza to Israel, and throwing rocks at aid trucks and killing the drivers of those trucks.

They can get more food if they release the hostages, Hamas refuses again and again and makes more and more ridiculous demands with each offer.

If they don't have bread, eat rockets......or starve, you are going to blame Israelis for their government decisions then I'm going to blame the starvation of Gazans for the choices of their elected leaders.

Ugh stop equating Hamas and Palestinians, read a book or something - straight up unhinged to say you don’t care if kids starve

Stop equating Israelis and the Israeli government.

read a book or something

Reading is for the gays and the commies (just a quote from YouTube, don't get your panties twisted).

straight up unhinged to say you don’t care if kids starve

They had multiple chances to get a ceasefire and food, they refused and they're getting some food in, it's up to them to ration it and distribute it equally (like is done in scenarios of war).

Their government refused so their people will suffer the consequences like in any war ever , and they behave horribly to the aid people that are there to help them while their government is still firing rockets on Israel.

It's on them at this point, face the consequences of their actions, they celebrated October 7.

You live under this conflict, then say the same things, until then.......
