His smell is temporarily different after spending time at the vet's, where he picked up "foreign" odors. The other cats can also smell the anesthetic and antiseptic used during surgery. This article explains it:

Oh OK thank you very much but now his mom his mom is hissing and smacking the other cats when he isn't even near any of then what does that mean
She's upset by his smell and taking it out on the other cats. That's known as redirected aggression: https://thecatsite.com/threads/redirected-aggression-in-cats.283093/
Your best bet would be to keep him separate from the others till he's fully over the anaesthesia, then take a towel, rub it on the others, then rub him with it before putting him back in with them. That'll make him smell more normal to them.

It means that she is agitated and upset by his different smells ands it is scaring her to the point she is displaying redirected aggression. That means she will attack ANYTHING or ANYBODY that comes into her space right now because she can't identify or understand the enemy. So she perceives everything as a threat. and strikes out. She will be fine in time, a lot of cats do this when they see a strange cat through the window. They will attack anything that comes near out of fear. She is not being aqgressive, she is reacting with fear to the unknown.
