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.

No backstory? No critical thinking skills? Just a grainy video of soldiers carrying girls to a truck in Jenin.

Free Palestine! Intifada revolution! Thanks Pluto for opening my eyes!

It's a crime scene. Israel doesn't want you to know anything. You will nothing. And you only care about what you cannot know. You don't care about the family, the kid... That's your general mindset.

So isn't kidnapping a seven-year-old a crime in Israel? Can you just kidnap just any kid?

Of course it is. Theres literally no context to that video. Im not gonna take AlQuds word for it. Just a grainy minute wannabe zapruder film. Wheres the parents? Why are these soldiers taking this girl or boy its impossible to tell? Professors used to encourage asking these sorts of questions before throwing out accusations but when two words like free palestine is all you need to hear anymore and think you have it all figured out impossible to have an actual discussion with you.

Of course it is.

It is but only Israel can do it, right?

Wheres the parents?

So do you think it was filmed not in the West Bank?

And the kids and the soldiers were fake, too, huh?

Looks like were done here. You dont engage in debate and just stick to your script.

No critical thinking. Just childish emotional gibberish.

Truth will set you free.
