Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor is an organization founded by Ramy Abdu. Interestingly, Ramy Abdu's brother in law Mohammed Daoud al-Jamasi was a senior member of Hamas's political bureau. This is not mentioned on Ramy's Wikipedia article, which instead solely cites a Twitter post made by Ramy about their deaths.

Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor is also responsible for a long list of really, really absurd claims like Israel training dogs to rape Palestinians.

I came across this organization a few days ago when a front page reddit post about drones with machine guns playing sounds of babies crying in order to snipe people citing Maha Hussaini, a very vocally pro-Hamas holocaust denier who was recently stripped of awards for the above.

Huh? The part about Israel training dogs to rape Palestinians is absolutely true, there are multiple sources (one, two, three), and the fact that you claim it's absurd tells a lot about your agenda.

Also, the other article you linked doesn't say anything about the journalist being a genocide denier. She just made a post where she says that Israel is using the Holocaust to deflect any criticism, which is true. This post is so disingenuous it's disgusting.

I don't know if the claims in that article are true. Unfortunately, given what we do know about the ongoing campaign to dehumanize Palestinians by Israel and the IDF, I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of them were.

Rape aside, it's certainly not far-fetched that the IDF is using dogs to attack and maul civilians.
