Clueless to it, but the red chests suggest they're slapping themselves quite hard.
"Ya Hossein""Oh Hossein", Hossein is the guy who is revered almost as much as god by Shia muslims. This is Latmiya, a mourning for the death of Hossein who was killed in the Battle of Karbala by the Yazidis. You might also hear them saying (haven't watched the whole video) "labayka ya hossein", which is basically "At your service Hossein", when he called for men to rally around him during the Battle of Karbala.

That's something important you left out in your first post. Sorry if I offended calling it random. Are you referring to the Mourning of Muharram?It's fine, I'm not offended at all. I'm not Muslim. I do respect the sacrifice Hossein and his men made, though, as warriors.
