So Palestinians are essentially cut off from supply routes and trapped. Supplies are already running low (apparently). Why would Hamas have put themselves in this position? Couldn’t they have seen this coming, or are they expecting help from other countries?

I listened to an interesting perspective yesterday regarding Hamas' reasoning. They were focused on the fact that Palestine and Hamas have been slowly slipping into irrelevance over the past few years. Their traditional allies are normalizing relations with their mortal enemy, seemingly abandoning them. The worlds entire focused has shifted away from the region to Ukraine and Russia; hell even attention on the "stans" is greatly reduced following the reconquest by the Taliban. Even issues regarding the Supreme Court of Israel are getting vastly more press than the situation in the occupied territories.
Arguably, Hamas decided that it needed to go big in order to get itself out of irrelevance and back to front page news.
