The importance of the arrest of the terrorist leaders resides in the fact that they are the ones giving all the orders, and they are the ones planning and giving orders to the terrorists under them who are of a younger age than them, and thus when one of the leaders of terrorism is arrested or dies, the whole group or network collapses, and it will never be able to become active again.
