Mossad operated in heart of London?

According to the Daily Telegraph , Mossad's secret agents followed a Syrian official , broke into his hotel room in London, and stole the diplomat's documents , while UK government was totally indifferent.

Britain took one more supportive step in favor of Israel, as it was thoroughly unconcerned over Mossad, the Israeli secret service's London operation in 2006. The Israeli secret service seemingly had planned to assassinate the Syrian official but averted the plan fearing the huge diplomatic rift with the British government. The Daily Telegraph reports : the secret service had sent three secret teams to London including a group of spotters that were dispatched to Heathrow airport to spot the official when he arrived from Damascus . The second team was staying in the hotel, and the third kept an eye on his visitors and his actions. The secret agents were the members of Kidon [Spear], Mossad's hit squad, and the Neviot [Springs] section who were the professional members in breaking into embassies, and hotel rooms to install bugging tools. The Kidon team were following the Syrian diplomat in London when the Neviot agents entered his room, and stole the data on his laptop. While the analysts spot mirror similarities between the London operation and the assassination of Mahmud al-Mabhouh who was assassinated in his hotel room in Dubai by Israeli hit squad using British cloned passports , there remains serious questions about the British government leniency over a foreign spying agency operation on British soil or using the cloned British passports in an assassination plot.
