Ambush the City - If making a rescue attempt, set all cards in battle aside (regardless of immunity). Holder may begin a new rescue attempt against same player. Once new rescue attempt is completed, the original battle resumes as a battle challenge. Cannot be negated.

In order for Dragon raid to give access it has to be placed in battle. When Gideon plays Ambush, DR gets set aside with everything else and no longer provides access.

I know abilities on multicolor sites are only active in battle, but since DR was not negated and Aaron and Moses are both human, LSs are still negated, yes?

Dragon Raid - While a human Hero is in battle, negate Lost Souls.

In the REG glossary under Site it says,

...special abilities on multi-color sites are active only while they are in battle.

I believe that means that Dragon Raid isn't active if it's not in battle, like when it's in the set aside area.

To expound on this, the phrase "in battle" only refers to the 'current battle' and not any others that may start.  I don't believe that they stay active during the Battle Phase of any side battles, due to the current wording.

I think you can put a site from your territory into battle at any point.  Or at any point you could play a dominant, if you want to be picky.

I don't think you can choose to remove a site from battle, but it's not something I've ever seen a ruling on. 

You cannot choose to remove a Site from battle once added. As far as I know Sites are not unique (otherwise the Gates of Samaria theme wouldn't work nearly as well) so I would imagine they follow the same rule as generic characters: if a Site is removed from battle by a special ability I see no reason you couldn't add it back into the same battle.
