Allies do spy on each other to a limited degree. These days it is done by diplomats etc as there are really no domestic subversive groups that require a foreign intelligence agency to monitor them or interact with them. The host countries apparatus is, in most cases, sufficiently tasked/resourced with handling those kinds of things. Most allies actually have agreements in place not to conduct covert operations against each otherUK, France, Germany, and so on.
I suspect all of the usual players have their intelligence officers in place.
Just because the Mossad does it the best doesn't make it a bigger offense.
Allies and enemies spy on each other alike, this is the game of nation hood.
Mossad goes well above the accepted norms, they frequently use duplicate passports of foreign nationals that are still alive. A big concern for western governments is Israels use of dual nationals - Some countries allow you to legally change your name once a year, mossad exploits this by having their foreign assets change names, gain a new passport to allow them to travel to countries where an Israeli citizen would be denied entry.
The pro Israel groups also seem to be intertwined with Mossad, some of their members were convicted of passing classified US documents to Israel, they were not registered with Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA)
