English term

exact a heavy toll on

English to Arabic Law/Patents Law (general) Cases
"The Sep. 11 attacks killed approximately 3,000 persons and caused injury to thousands more persons, destroyed billions of dollars in property, and exacted a heavy toll on the Nation's infrastructure and economy."

Is that a metaphoric expression? and how can I translate it into Arabic
