Why doesn't NATO just kill all ISIS members?

I realize it is difficult to kill them all just like that, but bomb the headquarters and the places where you know they are at (and don't tell me they don't know where that is), I mean with the weapons and army that NATO has that shouldn't be that difficult. If bombs are dangerous because they could kill civilians then just send an army there to take them out, I mean you can't compare NATO's army and ISIS's army.

    ........seriously okay let me explain to you the type of warfare we are currently dealing with. this the war on terror . ISIS doesn't have air fields, forward operating base. major supply lines or HQ's they are insurgents, a massive terrorist cell which means they blend into the population and launch ambushes, they're NOT soldiers, they're idiots with weapons and a messed up sense of religion they don't represent a nation, so please understand if you would that finding them and killing them is very difficult because civilian casualties makes the mission harder and is generally frown upon by the international community

    PS.

    NATO doesn't have and ARMY they are a collection of nations that came together to talk about the worlds problem back during the spread of communism during the cold war.

    NATO doesn't have an Army

    Its members have their own

    Shy of nuking the entire region there's really no way to kill all of ISIS

    They don't have a permanent headquarters
