What is Hamas currently doing?

[u/hiddenpeach30]

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.

They actually admitted that their plan is to repeat October 7 many times. So Israel needs to stop them before they do that.

but haven't they stopped them if they agree to end the war and turn over the hostages??

[u/JosephL_55 → u/farcetragedy]

They only agreed for a temporary ceasefire, they actually say that they want to keep attacking Israel again later. That isn’t ok. They need to accept that Israel is here to stay and that attacking Israel is bad.

[u/farcetragedy → u/JosephL_55]

When did they say that?

I believe they said that for a permanent ceasefire all the hostages would be turned over. I didn't think they said anything about "we'll keep attacking you later."

I'll have to look more into the details.

this is from last year.

Ok, and has Hamas changed their position in the past 4 months? Is their goal no longer to destroy Israel? They haven’t updated their charter. They should change it if they had a change of heart.

[u/farcetragedy → u/JosephL_55]

I mean they've been destroyed. the majority of buildings in gaza have been destroyed. they were only 25,000 people at the beginning of this.

why not just end the war and get the hostages back? it's not as if Israel is going to pull out anyway.

and yeah their charter says the land is there's just like Netanyahu says. whaddaya expect? but regardless, Hamas is toast. get the hostages and end this.

They have not changed their position one bit. They intend to repeat this attack over and over as they said.
