Pray tell, which elected leaders?
They're both not elected anymore and a resistance organization. They were elected on a platform of not-exclusively-peaceful resistance (peaceful resistance inside Palestine and especially inside Gaza was render impossible by Israel by 2006-2007, so their resistance activities are now exclusively violent). Resistance activities are supported by the population of Gaza, even if many don't support Hamas specifically. If your point is that October 7th implies they don't care about Gazan lives, that's patently false. If that's not what you meant, then explain what you mean by "they don't care about Gazan lives".
