Close to Home (Hebrew: קרוב לבית, romanized: Karov la bayit) is a 2005 Israeli drama film directed by Dalia Hager and Vidi Bilu, and starring Smadar Sayar and Naama Schedar.

Smadar (Sayar) and Mirit (Schendar), both 18 years old, are assigned to patrol the streets of Jerusalem together as part of their military service.

[3] Mirit (Naama Shender) is a melancholic and serious young woman from a good family who enlists in the IDF, hoping to serve in a position of responsibility and influence.

One consequence of this is that Mirit is tempted to dance with hotel guests she's supposed to be guarding, gets caught by her commanders, and is sent to military prison.

However, various crises that Mirit and Smadar experience together, such as a bomb that explodes near them (in the Nahalat Shiva neighborhood) and a near-lynch they barely manage to prevent of a man who refuses to show them his ID, build a strong friendship between them.
