Does this apply to operations like energy siphon? And if so, does the hero need to stay closer to one of the target's city? And if not, which operations does it affect? Only the ones that affect individual cities (sectors) or armies?

It only affects targeted operations, used against armies, cities, and sectors.
if you zoom out and switch to the operations view you can see individual operations defense for each sector. The Syndicate skill, and any operations that affect a sectors operations defense, reduce this sector based defense. When you have a targeted operation selected and ready to launch, it will show your %chance of success when you mouse over a target, which scales with your operations offense versus the sectors operations defense. Note that Alert Level affects the entire operations defense of a faction, not just their covert (global) defense.

I kind of wish that global operations could be boosted if the hero waa in their capital sector. Most of the strategic ops you cast will not be targeted. The only offensive targeted one I think I've used more than once or twice is that awesome plasma cannon thing. That one is great.
