Did the Delta Force that abducted Maduro and killed Baghdadi fail in Gaza?

• Delta Force in Gaza: The elite U.S. unit that abducted Maduro reportedly failed to locate 'Israeli' captives during the Gaza war.
• Elite operations: Delta Force, established in 1977, handles high-risk missions, but its exact role in Gaza remains classified.

The feared American Delta Force, famed for abducting Nicolás Maduro and taking down Daesh leaders, reportedly hit a wall in Gaza.

Sent to track 'Israeli' captives at the start of the war, the elite unit, renowned for daring missions, failed to locate a single captive, showing that even the most lethal forces couldn't win in Gaza.

Reports have confirmed that in October 2023 that U.S. special forces were sent to 'Israel' to assist in captive recovery efforts. While the exact nature of their operations in Gaza remains classified and not confirmed, some reports suggest American personnel may have faced casualties, though the U.S. government has neither confirmed nor denied these claims.

Who is Delta Force?

Delta Force, formally known as the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment–Delta, was established in 1977 and is one of the most secretive and elite units in the U.S. military.

Operators are drawn from the Army’s Special Forces (Green Berets) and Rangers, undergoing rigorous selection and training. Missions are often rapid, high-intensity, and rely on precise intelligence, advanced technology, and small, highly specialized teams.

High-profile missions worldwide

Delta Force has a long record of high-stakes operations:

• Capture of Saddam Hussein (2003) – Precision raid in Tikrit, Iraq.
• Raid on Daesh leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (2019) – Baghdadi killed himself during the operation.
• Assassination of Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani (2020) – Targeted strike in Iraq.
• Rescue missions in Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Panama, Colombia, and Somalia, Including Operation Eagle Claw, the failed 1980 Iran hostage rescue.

The unit also played a key role in the recent Venezuelan operation, known as Operation Absolute Resolve, abducting Maduro and his wife after a brief firefight in Caracas.

Delta Force and Gaza captives 

In Gaza, Delta Force reportedly focused on intelligence support, planning, and coordination with 'Israeli' forces for captive recovery.

While details of any direct combat operations remain undisclosed, the unit’s deployment highlights the U.S.’s interference in the 'Israeli' genocide in Gaza.
