[Avodah] What was AA's Hetter to endanger his people

[Meir Rabi]

AAAH ran to save Lot. He engaged in battle against well trained soldiers in
order to save Lot.
Are we permitted/obligated to endanger the lives of many in order to save
the life of an individual?
Was he relying on the assumption that he had the element of surprise and
that they were war weary?

The ShAharon quotes a Zohar that in fact AAAH went to redeem Lot with $$
but when he noted that he was accompanied by invincible angels he engaged
in battle instead.
