Did Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus back up the Machabees in their decision to fight back, even on the Sabbath, if Jews were attacked by Greco-Syrian armies on the Sabbath?
Are there any ways in which this question could be applicable to moder events, such as The Yom Kippur War for example"
Was Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus, [Isa the Prophet, peace be upon Him, to Muslims], saying that a police officer or soldier is free to take a life in defence of an innocent person, even on the Sabbath?
Yes, that is exactly what i think He was saying!
I believe that my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, so I go online and fight and fight and fight against ignorance and false ideas every Sabbath.
Shabbat Shalom!
It is my judgement that I should fight and fight and fight and fight against ignorance... .especially on Shabbat!
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children." [Hosea 4:6}
If you would like to know what kind of knowledge we are missing, I would suggest that we read the near death experience account of former Atheist and Orthodox Jewish Rabbi Alon Anava?

[I Book of Machabees, chapter two] :
And it was told to the king's men, and to the army that was in Jerusalem in the city of David, that certain men who had broken the king's commandment, were gone away into the secret places in the wilderness, and that many were gone after them. 32 And forthwith they went out towards them, and made war against them on the sabbath day, 33 And they said to them: Do you still resist? come forth, and do according to the edict of king Antiochus, and you shall live. 34 And they said: We will not come forth, neither will we obey the king's edict, to profane the sabbath day. 35 And they made haste to give them battle.
36 But they answered them not, neither did they cast a stone at them, nor stopped up the secret places, 37 Saying: Let us all die in our innocency: and heaven and earth shall be witnesses for us, that you put us to death wrongfully. 38 So they gave them battle on the sabbath: and they were slain with their wives, and their children, and their cattle, to the number of a thousand persons. 39 And Mathathias and his friends heard of it, and they mourned for them exceedingly. 40 And every man said to his neighbour: If we shall all do as our brethren have done, and not fight against the heathens for our lives, and our justifications: they will now quickly root us out of the earth.
41 And they determined in that day, saying: Whosoever shall come up against us to fight on the sabbath day, we will fight against him: and we will not all die, as our brethren that were slain in the secret places. 42 Then was assembled to them the congregation of the Assideans, the stoutest of Israel, every one that had a good will for the law. 43 And all they that fled from the evils, joined themselves to them, and were a support to them. 44 And they gathered an army, and slew the sinners in their wrath, and the wicked men in their indignation: and the rest fled to the nations for safety. 45 And Mathathias and his friends went round about, and they threw down the altars:
