Couldn't you change the intelligence file to do this?

code:

---

Num Target Messages       := 1

Change it to zero and the target empire gets no message of the intelligence operation.

Sure, but then you NEVER know when that intelligence operation is used against you. This is the same 'all or nothing' problem that plagues so much of SE. Mines, weapon damage (no variability), etc. We need some sort of check for relative capabilities and a determination that allows either outcome.
