Overriding Javascript's delete operator?

Is there a way to override Javascript's delete operator to some custom function.

I've used Object.defineProperty(obj, "prop", { get: ..., set: ... }) to override the default getter and setter but I also need to get the delete event.

Very late to the party, but delete can be overridden through proxies.
