It depends on the drawer construction.
If it's the old school drawer box with the drawer front screwed to it the the middle panel through to the inside of the drawer box will work but you may have to countersink the screw.
If it's the modern Blum style drawer boxes i'd check the thickness of the panel (put a straight edge across the top and bottom rail of the drawer front and measure to the face of the panel, then deduct this from the overall thickness). If it's more than 6mm you should be golden as not much pressure will be out through the screws handle in normal use just don't overtighten. I'd be amazed if this wasn't taken into consideration when it was designed.

Where should I be putting handles on a drawer if:
-the top section of the drawer is pretty narrow/close to the worksurface
-the middle section seems very thin (thinner than the thinnest bit of the breakaway screw things it comes with)
Maybe a batten or something behind the middle panel to make it thicker?
I've found a fitted organiser to go in it which comes up flush with the top so any batten could be hidden.
