Not less than 33 Iraqi soldiers and allied fighters were killed in an ambush by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group in a town in the flashpoint western Anbar province.

According to a report by Aljazeera, more than 40 other soldiers were injured in Monday's attack in al-Seddiqiya, located east of the provincial capital Ramadi, military.

In another attack, at least 12 civilians were killed and 18 others were injured by the Iraqi army, when the army shelled a large mosque in a popular market at Fallujah, 50km East of Ramadi.

Iraqi Defence Ministry said fighter jets had carried out fresh air strikes on ISIL targets in Anbar and Saladin provinces. The ministry released a video of the raids and said in a statement that many ISIL fighters were killed while equipment and buildings used as headquarters were destroyed.

The footage, released late on Sunday, is said to be filmed from an aircraft over Anbar, where the Iraqi air force is supporting the ground offensive against ISIL.

Last month, the Iraqi government announced the start of a major offensive to recapture areas under the control of ISIL group in Anbar.

The announcement came after the government suffered a humiliating defeat in Ramadi.
