Generally, no one knows how to fight terrorism at all except for trying to kill them all.
A lot of people think "just kill the leader." That doesn't work because a lot of terrorist organization has multiple people who can take over as leader, and killing the leader may only make things worse.
There are also a lot of people who think we can "transform" them or "educate" the terrorists. There is no such thing as compromise with terrorists. Terrorist leaders are also highly educated people.
So essentially what is being done here is trying to get every single last one of them, but obviously that is next to impossible considering the fact that new leaders and groups are born constantly.
