"Civil defence teams recovered 11 bodies last night and this morning following the Israeli bombing that targeted a residential house ... in Jabalia," Mohammed al-Mughayyir, an official with the agency, told AFP.
"This is in addition to the 12 victims recovered at the time of the attack yesterday," he added.
Gaza's northern area of Jabalia has repeatedly been a focus of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza since October 2023.
The Israeli military has returned to the district several times under the pretext that Hamas fighters had regrouped there, despite announcing numerous times it had been cleared.
Israel has repeatedly cited such allegations, without presenting evidence, to justify strikes on civilian targets including hospitals, schools, ambulances and media personnel.
In another strike in the area on Thursday, Israel hit what was previously a police station, Gaza's civil defence said.
The toll from that attack has risen to 11, Mughayyir said, after initially announcing that nine people had been killed.
Israeli strikes continued on Friday, with the civil defence agency reporting that at least five people -- a couple and their three children -- had been killed when their tent was struck in the Al-Mawasi area of the southern city of Khan Younis.
Agency spokesman Mahmoud Bassal said that the deceased woman had been pregnant.
Since Israel resumed its genocidal war on Gaza on 18 March unilaterally ending a two-month ceasefire with Hamas, at least 1,978 people have been killed in Gaza, bringing the overall death toll of the war to 51,355, according to the Gaza health ministry.
The ministry added that more than 117,096 others have been injured, noting that the majority of casualties in Israel's genocidal assault are women and children.
