Yes,bonds hold ions together through strong electrostatic forces between the cations and anions.(in ionic bonds).

Chemical Bond
Covalent bonds in ions or electric attraction.
The force of attraction that holds atoms or ions together is called a chemical bond. This bond can be formed by the sharing of electrons (covalent bond) or the transfer of electrons (ionic bond) between atoms. These bonds are crucial for the formation of molecules and compounds.
This is electrostatic attraction, that tends to bring together electrical charges with different sign. Ions do not collapse one into the other since when the get to near, repulsion between external electrons orbitals counterbalance the electrostatic force created by the net ions charge.

This is an ionic bond.
Ionic bonds
Covalent bonds in ions or electric attraction.
They are held together by an electrostatic force causing an ionic bond.
In an ionic bond, atoms are held together by the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions.
The force of attraction that holds atoms or ions together is called a chemical bond. This bond can be formed by the sharing of electrons (covalent bond) or the transfer of electrons (ionic bond) between atoms. These bonds are crucial for the formation of molecules and compounds.
Ionic bonds hold sodium atoms together. Sodium atoms lose an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming positively charged sodium ions. These ions are then attracted to negatively charged ions from other elements to form a bond.
This is a strong ionic bond.
Salts are formed only between metals and non metals..eg NaClthese are bounded by strong ionic bond which holds ions in a salt..!!
