The Cherubim convent situated on the highest summit of the Qalamoun mountains has recently erected the tallest Jesus statue in Syria, one that is even larger than that of Rio de Janeiro. However, militants from the Western-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) have been eyeing the convent for a while. They have attempted multiple times to get to the convent, especially by targeting Syrian Army tanks stationed outside the convent whose aim is to protect the ancient religious site from extremist Wahhabi militants fighting in the ranks of the FSA and their al-Qaeda allies.
