How should Quran 9:29 be interpreted? "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day..."

Quran 9:29 says:

Quran 9:29 image

Sahih International: Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.

Yusuf Ali: Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

How should this ayat be interpreted? Does it mean that Muslims are responsible to physically fight non-believers?
