Why isn’t Hamas firing missiles at Egypt for its on-going blockade of the Gaza Strip?

You don’t have to be too much of a geography nerd to notice that the Gaza Strip is not an enclave of Israel.
The Gaza Strip has a border with Egypt. Any blockade of Israel of the Gaza Strip is not grounds to attack Israel because it can always trade across its border with Egypt.
Egypt frequently blockades partially or wholly its border with the Gaza Strip. Hamas is not firing missiles that Egypt for this outrage? Why?
