The attacks came after the US and Israel struck Iran on Saturday, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran retaliated with missile strikes across the Middle East.
After witnessing the drone incident, the group tried to return to their hotel but the area was sealed off as emergency services were dealing with the incident.
“We waited for a couple of hours sheltering in another hotel but the police still wouldn’t let us through so we sneaked around the cordon, on to the beach and eventually arrived at the hotel.
“We returned to one of our hotel rooms to look at the sky which was full of missiles and aircraft. It was a surreal experience,” Rourke explained.
At some point in the evening while they were observing from the hotel, a missile flew past and exploded further along the road.
Rourke said: “There was a deafening explosion and the whole place shook when the missile exploded. We were terrified. We immediately left the room and made our way to a basement area where people were taking refuge.”
