IDF: Gazans are trying to stop Hamas from attacking Israel. 

As reported by JPost, a source within the IDF's Southern Command has detailed the deteriorating military situation of Hamas.

According to this source Hamas is facing significant challenges including an inability to produce weapons and a breakdown in command and control structures.

"Since October 7th, we have carried out 30,000 airstrikes on targets in Gaza," an official from the Southern Command stated. "This is in addition to thousands of attacks by combat helicopters and UAVs of the Air Force. We have managed to severely damage their production sites ... We have caused substantial damage to Hamas's production and armament capabilities at both the battalion and brigade levels. On the rare occasions when they do manage to fire, we quickly neutralize the threat."

The IDF also locates and eliminates remaining launchers and terrorist squads before they can strike.

Notably, there have been instances where Gazans have attempted to intervene in Hamas's firing attempts, indicating a local rebellion against the group. "It is in our interest that similar interventions continue in the future," the source added.
