I can't cite any specific examples but have always suspected that it happens more frequently than reported.

In one sense, it happens passively at every battlefield hospital in the triage area.

They have a group called the "expectants" that they intentionally don't treat because they're considered impossible to fix...they are expected to die. Therefore, they operate first on those who have a chance to live.

That's both enemy and FRIENDLY casualties.
